Ronin, too, shrugged out of his outer layers now that they were within the warmth of the guildhall, hanging his coat on a hook and revealing in full the little albino dragon draped around his neck. He moved to sink down in a comfortable chair opposite Seiji by the fire, grabbing up a couple of clean mugs on the mantlepiece, as well as a ladle. There was a pot resting in the warmth of the coals near the edge of the hearth, filled with mulled wine that ought to still be hot. Ladling the wine into the two mugs, he offered one out to Seiji. "It's alright," Ronin said with a sheepish grin about the hall. "It will be a lot busier soon, with any luck. Monster hunters aren't easy to come by. Though I used to train other soldiers, so if anyone was interested, I'd not let them run off into the wild without any experience." Chuckling, he took a quick sip of his wine. Had he seen the Spire demon? Yes, and the rest. Ronin almost winced in his smile, nodding to the other man. "Seen it and fought it, and I bear the scars from escaping," he admitted. "It is... it looks like a humanoid, but it has no eyes. It is very thin, skeletal almost, with grey skin and the most hellish claws... and it's jaw is not like a man's. It seems too big, too stretched... and it is full of jagged teeth." TALIESIN SO LOOK, AND CONNECT WE'RE REFUSING TO RUST HEALING HAS TO BEGIN IN THE PAST |

S E I J I The steaming mug is wonderfully warm; he accepts it with a glad nod and a quick, "Thank you." Long fingers wrapped around the vessel, he sits for a moment peering into it, allowing the heat to seep into his hands. While Ronin is speaking, he dares a small sip, and is pleasantly surprised by the warm, spicy flavor. It heats him from the inside as it goes down. Seiji is also a little surprised by how esily Ronin seems to have settled in here. Also a newcomer, and yet he has this building, a guild, such a grasp of things. Seiji wonders if this is some difference in worth between them or if it can be at least partially explained by his lack of memory. He is no soldier, though. He feels certain of that much. Seiji listens with interest to Ronin's description of the spire demon, his brows raising as Ronin speaks about having fought it. A monster hunter true to his name. "It sounds terrible..." he murmurs, his features now closing into a thoughtful frown. "I have heard some people say the spire is what traps us here. Or part of it. I cannot understand why, though." Lifting his eyes to Ronin again, he shakes his head. "It is all very strange. Though... I think protecting a place like that makes people want to go inside more, probably." His eyes drifted to the pale dragon, her full shape now exposed, where she lay across Ronin's shoulders. Maybe, in time, she could be an asset in battle, as well. Maybe that was why Ronin kept her. For now, though, Seiji felt as if they were both small and under-equipped for the trials of this world they had landed in. The rain is full of ghosts tonight the White Knight

S E I J I Seiji only nods, his expression closed, eyes thoughtful. The way Ronin phrases things, it sounds as if whatever trapped them here is a malicious entity. He doesn't miss the way Ronin touches his shoulder, as if it pains him. Or the quiet glance he shares with the dragon. But Seiji comments on neither, instead turning over the man's words. As the minutes pass, his mug of wine grows lighter in his hands, and the warmth of the hall suffuses his cold limbs. It is comfortable here indoors, even if outside, horrors still await. As Ronin rises, remembering the equipment he mentioned earlier, Seiji nods. "Thank you," he says, rising also and placing his mug carefully aside. A note of laughter reaches his voice as he adds, "Too big is better than too small." By now, he is almost accustomed to most people being larger than he. But anything is better than nothing as far as extra clothing goes. The rain is full of ghosts tonight the White Knight

S E I J I Ronin returns with a pile of supplies. For Seiji, stripped of everything — even most memories — save the clothes on his back, it is a humbling offer. His eyes go wide as Ronin sets the things on the table. For a moment, Seiji simply looks at it all. Then he turns toward Ronin and nods, fervently. “Thank you. This is very — very kind.” He manages to say that much, at least, before he moves forward to examine the things. At the sound of Ronin’s voice, Seiji looks up. “Yes.” He nods again, eyeing the coat. A little big, maybe, but no matter when his first concern is the cold. He surveys the small pile of clothes, gently picking each up and inspecting it before folding them all carefully into the pack. “Thank you,” he says again. “I wish… I could repay this somehow.” Into another pocket of the pack, he begins putting away the apples. It gives him something to do aside from standing awkwardly, thanking Ronin on an endless loop. “Maybe I will think of a way,” Seiji adds, mostly to himself. He pauses, though, to smile at Ronin. "I hope the Longnight is safe for you." Unless a reason arises for him to linger, Seiji thinks it might be best to return home, rather than continue to impose on Ronin's hospitality.
