She wouldn't play down the dangers, wouldn't want you to not worry? the bard responded, thinking of how she had wanted so badly to be considered strong enough to be able to take care of herself, to prove that she could handle whatever came her way. Sunjata's swift suspicion earned a croak that was the equivalent of a shrug. Ronin isn't the type to let people under his command die now that he's come back to himself. No matter what he's lost or however else he's changed. And it could be argued that those who had faced him in the Temple had been his enemies at that time, not his comrades. They had certainly been opposed to his deconstruction project, quite vehemently so.
Not exactly a confirmation, but close enough for the raven to clack his beak thoughtfully as he was forced to reexamine Deimos in a new light once more. Sunjata's more focused words drew his attention back, though, and he rattled his feathers in exasperation at the other man's blindness. I told her that her choices were her own, that I and the Guild would be waiting for her when she was ready to return, and then I let her fly where she would, he corrected tiredly. I was not the one who caged her, Sunjata. And you may not have wanted to, but she locked herself in willingly and gave the key to you alone.
