it does not bother me to say this isn't love
"From King to Prince. I'm not sure if I should curtsey or bow." Looking down at his hands, still bloody of course, you narrow your eyes. "Or is it a ring I kiss? Or a shoe, perhaps? An antler?"
You nod a touch at that, understanding well what it's like not to have direction. "That's a bit how things function here. Cian might be the leader of the Order, but it isn't as though he commands all of us individually. The best people are put into place to manage their side of things." Though you do your best to offer him a reassuring smile, you know that it won't really ever get much better than this. Ronin's time would be what he made of it, for better or worse.
"Honestly, I'd really appreciate that. Its been a while since I've reattached an ear though, so unless you want it on backward, maybe give me some time to study up." Zipping up your bag and tossing it in a practiced movement over your shoulder, you give the Star one last look.
"Anything else before you head off to bed?" No, you hadn't missed the way he's been looking around. You can practically see the wheels turning in his mind of what needs to be done around the grounds.
