Relaxing a fraction at hearing that at least Haai and Sunjata had been close to hand, but vowing firmly to himself to keep a better eye on his daughter, Ronin nodded along with Seren's story, smiling softly. "It sounds like quite the adventure," he said. "Well, whether or not Saiden comes with us on the boat ride, we'll have to call on him soon and say hello." He ought to check how the sailor was getting on anyway; it would have definitely been something Vanya would have wanted, and Ronin wouldn't go against that.
But then suddenly Seren was looking down through the boards to the water below, pointing at a mermaid, of all things. Raising an eyebrow, Ronin straightened up and peered over the dock to see what she meant. And there was, indeed, a girl in the water, though the hunter did not jump straight to assuming it was one of the mythical folk of Torchline. "Are you alright?" he called down to the girl, wondering if perhaps she was someone in trouble.
