Once upon a time Ronin would have scaled it easily, as sure with his feet and hands as he was at breathing. Now, though? Hells, even breathing seemed to be more difficult than before.

Turning and looking into the hole - and up at the Spire, and out at the ashen ruins of the place where he had fought and died... well, he was sure that Ashe would understand that his chest suddenly grew tight and his stomach did backflips. Gripping her hand tightly, he tried to focus on Percy as they walked very much in the opposite direction of the Spire. "Hey, horse thing," he greeted the unicorn unceremoniously, smiling and patting Percy's nose. "The guildhall... Yeah. I... I've a lot to do." ronypony it's always nice to make an impression
