RONIN
Roana was remarkably chipper in the mornings - then again, so was Ronin sometimes. Back in Northaven he had switched from night to day shift so often that it was difficult, sometimes, to orient himself. Still, he followed her gaze over his shoulder to watch the hedges swallow them up and into the labyrinth with a soft oh, the hunter seeming more curious than worried about this new development.
But then the good humour faded and - gods but it was weird - Ronin was relieved to see the ex-captain grow so serious. At least he wouldn't have to do any convincing; they were both on the same page to begin with. "I know only what Remi told me, and he's... er, he lost his sight." He sighed and shook his head. "She promised him the impossible, I think. Something about Arduinna and Ianto and freeing the fox of her hold... in exchange for Remi's help. She had him make locks and some kind of ink, among other things. I feel like she's gearing up for something, or that she's made some kind of stronghold."
He walked as he spoke, smiling ruefully at Roana. "I agree. Luckily, I have basic training in this from the Guard. Though it's been years since I did so much as fire an arrow."
