"Then perhaps he needs a friendly voice to persuade him," Ronin suggests, dark though the train of thought may be. But with all that has come and gone between he and Sunjata, Nate has caused nothing but grief in his life as of late. Still waters run deep, and when it comes to the Ascended, those waters are also filled with blood. "Maybe I could lend an ear when I visit to check on him."
It is like they're in water - or like Safrin is made of smoke. Either way it is a frustration and a longing that almost dims the light of the star in Ronin's eyes, until only Safrin has any colour to her at all. "But aren't there different types of love?" he whispers back, a small smile curling at his lips. "I love my husband. I love my son. I love Vanya, for all she did and gave me. And you and I - we both love our daughter. But no one of them is the same."
He tries again to curl gentle fingers around her waist, watching the play of light across her cheeks. "And you? I can say with certainty that the love I have for you is unlike any other. I love my friends and my family - but I worship my goddess. You are the only one I worship - only you. In a room with all the gods and heralds, from all the stars in the sky, I would never stray from your side." It's a madness, surely, that has overtaken him here in the blank canvas of space, for the words which flow from his lips seem so easy and so true, unhindered by the worries that chain him down on the Caido he has left behind.
