ROANA

Glimpses of fate bring light to your despair
Realise hope isn't short of your grasp
Resurrect every dream that you've buried alive
And never succumb to the war that you fight

Roana was indeed in the Labyrinth. Why? Why not? Her boys were off spending the day with Auntie Phoebe. She still had to figure out how to get all of the items Ludo needed for her special request - the ring part was simple enough, but a vial of Ascended blood? yeah that wasn't as straightforward - and the best way to think was to do something mindless. She had heard plenty of stories about the monsters in the Labyrinth, big and small, and was she not a full-fledged member of the Monster Hunters Guild?

She had just stumbled upon her first irritant when she heard her name called. The former captain tilted backwards, eyes wide with curiosity and lips pursed making for a rather comical expression when Ronin would surely see her head poke out of the bushes. "Oh! Hello Ronin!" she said with a grin. "I found a talking chipmunk!" Her tone was bright, on the edge of laughter as she looked back at the little thing that kept telling her to follow. Which she did not. Instead she poked it with the toe of her boot, causing it to slide a foot or so backwards before it ran up to her again. Rinse, repeat.

"I take it you were looking for me?" she asked. He hadn't stumbled on her after all, and the way her called out her name indicated he had some idea she was around. When she spotted the weapon though she raised a brow and smirked. "Taking up a new hobby, I see?" she said.
