arms give away your need
”I looked to you, once.” No mind reader is Ronin, but he can tell what Safrin means in the things she does not say. ”I still do, at times.” Not often, it’s true, but the girl in the arms of the goddess has accomplished exactly what Safrin might have had in mind. They were bonded, closer even than when she had put him in the stars, closer than blood.
Still, as she speaks regarding his task at LongNight, at Ludo’s moving the goalposts, the light in Ronin flares brightly - then it winks out entirely. ”I see,” he whispers, eyes dropping to stare at the ground. There’s... nothing more for it, then. ”I’m sorry, I... you were telling me something important. About the dreamworld. About not... not going too far?”
