For a moment, Safrin merely regarded Ronin. Her eyes ever enigmatic gave no indication of what she was thinking, her expression neutral. Eventually she did speak, turning her chin upwards to regard the stars. "Yours was a story I wish to see finished. Dying because of a trick that the Voice came up with...That is not how your story ends. And perhaps.." She hadn't with Remi, been vulnerable that is. Told the whole truth. But the Fallen Star was special long before his fall. Perhaps he did deserve to know that.
"..selfishness as well. I have lived eons, Ronin, and for the most part you are all the same. Your motivations, your lives. You live and love, fight and pillage. It is how you are. Rae finds it interesting, but I suppose I don't. Not usually. But you...you are different. Special. Even a death among the stars and free from Mort seemed and illfitting fate. But...it wasn't actually me who brought you back. Even in my heavens, it was still Mort who had to pluck you down. Truly it is he who you owe your thanks...or anger? for this new life."
