RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
Safrin doesn’t believe Tanau to be the cause of all of this, and her faith is more than enough to bolster his own; Ronin nods and ruffles his fingers through his hair, watching the fire-clad realm disappear into smoke and starlight. ”Perhaps he knows who did, then,” he says - despite all that has happened, it is so natural, the way Ronin fits back into their dynamic. To be Safrin’s hands when she cannot interfere herself.
”I would never expect you to. Not with Seren at risk,” he agrees with a nod of agreement. ”And nor would I expect you to come near me, should I contract something.” She says the infection has stopped, but there’s nothing to say it might not start again. ”But I will go. I need to find out how this happened, and how to stop it. There are to many people at risk.” The Climb, then. She’s already given him more than he could hope for, more than a starting point.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
