gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
Ronin does not seem quite so proud of his actions now that they are out in the open, though he does manage a soft smile for Hotaru's trouble. "I doubt I will make good on that promise - we worked things out," he explains. "And would Safrin not want to take care of Kamaria instead? Or Nate?" It's an odd line to draw for him, between Kamaria and Hotaru, however well they might have gotten along.
They continue to see-saw between the awkward and the entertaining, Ronin cheering a bit and seeming satisfied by her remark. "Well, better to be safe than sorry," he concedes, before getting comfortable on his cloud. Watching Hotaru try to do the same, Ronin grins. "You can sit," he assures her, "it's what I do, mostly." Doing just that, in fact, he makes sure that Hotaru is safe before the nimbus rises into the night, heading right for the top of her strange little building. "Let me know where we ought to land."
