I swear I still believe but I don't know
Ronin can't help the way relief washes through him to hear that this place would do for now. To know that he hasn't ruined his friendship with Sunjata even more than it feels as though he already has. And as the Flood moves away to slump into the chair, Ronin moves into the one adjacent, unsure what to do or where to go from here. And so eventually he does what the Star always does - he dives in feet first. "Yeah, we... wait." He nods.
Then he reaches out, attempting to clasp a hand against his friend's shoulder. "Jata... How did this happen? What's been going on in Torchline?" He doesn't mean the Vai thing, necessarily - how, he means, did it get to a point where anyone might believe him capable of doing something like this? Where Zeph would instinctively send a note like that to Remi on a hair trigger?
