the baffled king composing hallelujah
"I appreciate that, but I'll be going to see the boatsman all the same," Ronin says softly, with a quiet smile. Yes, part of him had expected that the Eye would... well, see. It's what he's for, after all. But never one to let others smooth over his mistakes, Ronin will be on his way nevertheless. If nothing else it's an excuse to see the skyboats in the light, as well. Tilting his head as Cian offers him a seat, the Star does indeed take one, sinking down so he might gaze at the other man on equal footing.
He, of course, has inadvertently chosen the one with punctures in the armrests, not that he has noticed just yet. "Regardless of the sort of man I strike you as, I am already hitched to Stormbreak," he reminds him with a shrug that suggests he's made as much peace with it as he ever will. "I know that the Order are charged with preserving the peace that trapping the Voice behind the barrier in the Hollowed Grounds provided. I know that war is coming - I have all but been told as much."
Ronin's brow furrows; he gazes out of the window into the morning light. "But what I don't understand is why the Stormbreak Dragoons aren't already under the Order's remit. There... is a lot of work, to be done with them. A lot of talent, but very little experience." Put bluntly, for all their training, they'll be sitting ducks in an ambush.
