Ronan was tempted to take up on Shakuni's offer after he realised how strong shakuni truly was , however the word yes just would not come out of his mouth.
One side of his brain kept repeating Shakuni's phrase ' At my strongest , i can slice the moon in half '.
While the other just showed the picture of his family crying when he re-emerged in the ceremony a week ago.
He had been away from home for a long long time and now should he leave again so soon , it would undoubtedly hurt his family.
In a dilemma he could not accept or reject Shakuni's offer as when he closed his eyes he could see himself wielding his axe and cutting the moon in half whereas in his heart he could feel the pinch for saying yes.
