[Mini Event] we're only human, after all

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving Ronin would not be here if not for the people around him. Amalia, Deimos, Remi (especially Remi) - it had taken a lot to bring the hunter back to the basement of the bakery. But now that he had walked out because people who didn't know him all that well had implied that his daughter would be threatened and that he would fold, and she had been threatened anyway, well... there was little left to stop him. He sat comfortably in his chair, even if he couldn't say the same about his state of mind, and as Amalia said her piece he groaned internally. She wanted him to stand up and say it, huh? Ronin grit his teeth and - reluctant but understanding that it was necessary - rose to his feet. "I'll spare you my introduction - there isn't a way for it not to sound pompous," he said. "I have been reminded, time and time again, that I am not the same as I was when I battled the Spire Demon. That I am more now, and with that comes the type of responsibility that I'm no longer able to shy from." Ronin scowled, shaking his head. "I'll spare you, as well, the type of rousing speech that makes blood boil and rebels run happily to their deaths. Zariah is strong - stronger than I am currently, that is for certain. And there will be consequences for everything we are doing here tonight, for better or for worse. But the woman who calls herself Queen of the Hollowed Grounds, who calls herself the Merciless and claims to want to better this place - she does not deserve to rule."
