we live in a world someone else imagined
"Mermaids or pirates? Not yet, no. But I know plenty of people who can turn into fish or other sea creatures, so it's kind of the same thing," Ronin said, somehow finding chattering away to be less stressful than he had imagined. It could be anyone's child, walking like this on the beach. He could just be returning them home. "I did find some treasure once, in some hidden pathways in Haulani. But it wasn't worth much - just a couple of strange goblets. I let my travelling companions have them as souvenirs," he explained.
The ocean sighed and the waves lapped at the shore, and Haulani twinkled far too brightly in the distance. All was so calm, and Ronin felt mad with it. "Do you know, for all I'm aware my friend could be a pirate these days," he said regarding the guildmaster, a quiet and amused smile flickering across his face. "His name is Sunjata. He owns a guild - that's like a group of people who come together with one goal, like hunting or fishing - and there's a place in town that belongs to him that we might stay for a little bit."
The boxing ring was hardly ideal, but it would do for a night. "It's late, so I won't disturb him today. Maybe tomorrow we can go and speak to him."
