Due to Ronin's obsession with toying with his victims mental before slaughtering them, he considers himself well-versed in listening to people.
You especially.
He truly does not understand how you link your sentences together. You could be pointing out a bird you saw earlier in the day, then somehow transitioning to rant about medieval torture devices. It's effortless, and Ronin does not understand how you do it.
Ronin often listens to you while multitasking. Fixing cars, working on his computer, sharpening knives; all with you either on call or rambling on his bedsheets. You're like a physical podcast, and he appreciates that.
˚❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
"He told me he was vegan, but.. not for pizza? And I felt like that was fair... Did you know that pizza-" You spare a glance over to Ronin, who was rocking on his chair while seemingly contemplating what to type.
The air thickens in proportion to the pangs of silence that follow.
Ronin eventually twirls around to give you an incredulous stare.
"Cat got your tongue?"
"Sorry, you probably need to focus."
He quirks a brow, spinning his chair back to the screen. It paints his face in a blue hue.
"If I really needed to focus, you wouldn't be here."
You gawk at him. "Was that an attempt at comfort?"
"That depends." He rocks his head back to glance at you. "Did it work?"
You flop back into his bed, melting into the pillows with a grumble. "You're impossible."
"Maybe a little." He hums; you can hear the smug grin in his words.
"Keep talking. I focus better with your voice. What was that fact about pizza?"
You'll rant to anyone who'll listen, but Ronin would much prefer it to be him.
He's an extremely active-listener. While you're prattling on about any subject, Ronin replies very curtly, but he very well can reciete back to you every single word that left your lips in the last half an hour.
Ronin makes you take vocal breaks; you seem to forget your voice box does not come in infinite supply. Whenever he notices the slight raspy tinge in your tone after speaking for a particuarly long time, he presses a finger against your lips. "Breathe."
It's weird, and he'd never admit it aloud but your speech is like a lullaby to him. He sleeps better with your facts, your stories, your experiences lolling him into unconsciousness...Regardless of how ridculous whatever you're saying is.
It helps that Ronin thinks your voice is adorable; it's the only element of grounding he has to root himself to the world once the chaos of the day finally settles.
(Dont judge a book by its cover btw, this isnt how Howdy and Eddie usually act in this au)
So a lil bit of infordump below:
In this AU mythical creatures interact with regular peeps on a daily basis. Theyre just people you'd see in your day to day life, but they are under extreme scrutiny due to how dangerous some mythics can get.
For this very reason, the Hunters Association was made. It's an international company that collects data about various kinds of mythics, and comissions mercenaries to either capture or kill dangerous mythics (a.k.a. monsters). While H.A. assists more on intel, and weaponry, they also, sometimes, provide manpower with their own trained soldiers, Eddie is one of them. These soldiers often work as support for mercenaries who need the extra hand in taking out monsters.
The Pillars (Howdy lmao) is one of the Association's longest standing collaborators, aiding in capturing and killing many, well known as heroes to many. Its a generational thing for family members to become monster hunters or work inside H.A. itself.
Oh! And another thing, a mythic is only labeled a monster if they commit any sort of crime, could be a single major crime (i.e. genocide) or multiple small crimes (petty theft and shuff). So yeah, mythical creatures can walk around in broad daylight and not get shot at so long as they dont have a criminal record in H.A's eyes lol--
Sprinkles: Bark! Birk! (Next up is Magnet, the only female character in the season who wears eye makeup to make herself look attractive, but in the audience's eyes, she's supposed to be the antagonist.)
(Because she's supposed to be manipulative and hyperactive, and whenever she's around Pepper, she's just trying to replace Salt with her. So, she's not likable and will probably make it much further in the game. Let's see her fate….!)

Magnet Is Belong to Inanimate Insanity (AnimationEpic)
