arms give away your need
Perhaps once upon a time Ronin would have teased Deimos on the warmth in his voice, or demanded to know more, but time and solitude, as well as the war, have tempered those urges somewhat. Instead he offers a genuinely happy smile for the other man, nodding to him and tilting his cup as if in a small toast to their success. "Honestly, that is all that matters. Halo doesn't seem to be suffering for it, in any case."
As for the rest, Ronin huffs out a laugh and a nod of honest agreement. "You would have thought that we'd be rested enough by now, but honestly, it took a few seasons just to realise that things were alright." That the Voice wasn't going to resurface around every corner, that Caido wasn't going to change their mind and smite them down.
Now, though, he thinks perhaps they're getting into it a bit, as evidenced by Ronin's presence in the Kraai. His eyes lift from his mug to note how full the tavern has gotten, and a smile curls the corners of his mouth to hear the low rumble of voices, the pluck and twang of a lute nearby. It isn't much, and he doesn't see it happening too often, but it has been sorely missed by the Huntsman.
And so he passes the rest of his evening with Deimos in quiet conversation and perhaps even the odd game of cards or darts. Ronin doesn't even cheat, though when Deimos wins, he'll undoubtedly wish he had.
