I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
"Eesh. Nice little bit of light daydreaming, mm?" Ronin winces, though he can very well understand how one might drift into such deep thoughts next to the steady drum of the river's pulse. Still, he does laugh at the other man's remarks, wading into the shallows and inhaling sharply, before slumping down up to his chest. The cold water is remarkably soothing in the Longheat air, and he has no intention of going for a full swim just yet; not mid-conversation, and not when he is so relaxed.
"Alright, maybe I'll scream if I feel an eel swimming by my legs, or if a bit of river moss clings between my toes," he suggests, glancing back up only to see that his new acquaintance is not nearly as relaxed to hear his name. Tilting his head, the Star nods slowly. "You mean her dad? That's me, yeah - have you met my daughter?"
