“I do believe he is a good man,†Roen replied quietly as she exited the cell. She lowered herself to a seat next to Daegsatz on the floor. “Else we would not be working together.â€
She wound the music box in her hand and laid it in the Roegadyn’s lap, letting out a weary sigh. She opened the lid again to allow the simple metallic chimes to fill the corridor, to lighten the dark mood that had fallen between them. It saddened her to imagine that Nero’s childhood had been so hard, but despite that he had smiled and laughed freely as a boy. Even though she had only known the pirate for a few suns, she found herself mourning the loss of that bright spirit greatly.
Roen peered up at the Sea Wolf, some of the tension ebbing away. “And you do not need to apologize for him. I can take care of myself.†She rolled her shoulders. “Perhaps someday we can unearth what he is so desperately trying to hide.â€
She glanced at the music box once more, before she rose to stand. “I think Ser Serojon is getting impatient with us.†Roen gave a nod down the corridor to the Lalafell who was glaring at them with arms crossed.
“I will leave the box here with you? Perhaps a small respite from the silence.â€
