I swear I never dream that we're alone
The fire and venom that start to punctuate Sunjata's words are echoed in the armor and the talons, and Ronin's sneer grows a little colder. "Well maybe if you hadn't made a deal to tie yourself to Safrin like a dog I wouldn't have shown up at all. Because if you hadn't noticed, there's a leash around my neck too," he snarls, his grip on the other man's shirt growing that bit tighter. He's meant to be calming down now, after getting this little bit of frustration out of his system, but the Flood isn't helping.
He's making it worse, in fact; it might be something of an anomaly for eyes as bright as Ronin's to grow dark, but he manages it. Starlight and fire fractures out of him in equal measure, and he leans in close to the Flood's face, barking laughter and all. He should deny it, because it's not true. Except it fucking is, and he can't run away from it even for a moment.
"Say it again and think about what it means for you," he invites. "Say it again, like you don't think I'd leave your kid without a father. She'd be fine. Safrin would take care of her."
