Ruan

it's not by bone but yet by blade
can break the magic that the devil made

 
He reluctantly excused himself from his beautiful companion's side at a later point in the night. There was no excuse to be in this land and not let his distant family know that he was still alive. He'd watched little Kali in brief glances, but that was not good enough and he slipped away to see her.

She seemed occupied for the moment though, and he redirected his path to her father instead. His friend.

Ruan looked very different from the last time he'd seen them. It didn't concern him too much as he waited for a good moment then approached Kerberos with a lazy half-smile and bright blue eyes. It was damn good to see them again, to see them healthy and happy.

"Kirby," he greeted solidly, using the nickname the iron man had often answered to and not immediately waiting for recognition. "I am glad to see you made it to safety. I'm sorry your home was not deemed one of the fairies' havens. How is everyone?"

The Taiga, too, was not a haven, but he couldn't bring himself to leave it. Thus far, his family was safe regardless of the danger and he would do everything in his power to ensure it remained that way.

and it's not by fire but what's forged in flame
can drown the sorrows of a huntsman's pain
