They are showered with another flurry of snow as Lena tosses a final treat into the air, Ronin grinning as he watches the wyrms flail expectantly for a moment as if waiting for more, before starting to weave away elsewhere. "Ah, their affection is so easily won and lost," he murmurs, glancing back at the Attuned. "Still, at least you know how to get their attention if you ever want an impromptu snowstorm."
Mention of Amun's name is so unexpected that Ronin has to take a second to realise he's heard it, the Huntsman letting out a long sigh. "I felt the same about a lot of them," he admits. "It's hard... but we have to think of ourselves now. It's not often that I advocate for selfishness, but that's the world we live in now."
Selfishness that expands to the whole of Stormbreak, as it turns out, and Ronin relaxes to hear that she'll help with his task - and try to ask Frey for some help, too. "Thank you," he murmurs, and he means it. "I'll let you know when I'm ready to fly. Until then, I'd better get going. Look after yourself, Lena."
With a final, gentle touch to her shoulder, Ronin ambles forward, his footsteps crunching on the freshly fallen snow as he disappears back into the city.
