Eironn- well, he doesn’t exactly enjoy small talk, to say the least. Friends are a distraction. The Stormsword is known all over Esperia - it’s no secret. The swordsman is one of the best (if not the best), of course. It’s only natural that rumors about you spread like wildfire. After all, Eironn doesn’t let just anyone tag along with him.
You see, when you were seven, Eironn had rescued you from a pack of wolves. He did not, however, expect to acquire a duckling that day. Eironn was your hero, in truth. He’d saved you. It’s only natural that you, an orphan, would tag along with him.
And Eironn? Well, he’d never admit it… but he didn’t dislike you. In fact- he’d probably give up his life to protect you, if it came down to it. But alas, the Stormsword would never admit that he had a soft spot for a child like yourself.
