gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
"I tend not to pay attention to first impressions anyway," Ronin tells her with a gentle shrug of his shoulders. "There have been too many occasions where I've acted like a complete tit to a stranger for me to rely all that much on hearsay. But sure - you can be as mysterious as you like." His smile is partially hidden as he glances away across the snows, his bare fingers sinking now into the pockets of his coat as they walk.
Still, the smile remains when he glances back to Hotaru, and he tilts his head to her. "Shall I tell him to send them, then?" he wonders regarding the flowers. "I confess, I have never met with Frey - nor Ludo, in fact, unless it was by way of another person." He's met them all, thanks to that event at the Celestine, but not really.
It doesn't seem like senseless drudgery to Ronin - though that's probably because Hotaru has found a conversational partner in the Star more than anything else - and his blue eyes widen a touch to hear her confession. "Oh? She is certainly a mercurial sort, that much is true. But I think she appreciates anything you might offer her, even if you are not on the best of terms." Still, he wouldn't go pursuing any meetings with Safrin any time soon were he Hotaru.
Ah, but then they are speaking of super secret special things, and he gives her a gentle nudge with his elbow. "I feel very privileged," he informs her. "Where is it, exactly?"
