and on to the glory at my right hand
Ronin almost chokes around the next breath he takes - of all the things he expected Seren to say, this is probably at the very bottom of the list. "The man I love fucked someone else without thinking and had another family. Is there any imaginable circumstance where you think I would be happy?" he whispers - and just for a shimmer of a second, scales as black as pitch can be seen creeping up his neck beneath the scarf, before a long and shuddering breath has them subsiding once more.
"I'm sorry," Ronin murmurs. "That - no. No, I suppose you could say I'm not thrilled about it."
He can barely conjure a smile for her regarding the creature that nearly made an encore appearance after turning much of Hak Etme to glass, magical as the picture she paints might be. "Maybe," he manages softly, ducking into a little cafe and gesturing for Seren to take a seat at whichever table she likes.
Still on the subject of babies, with snow melting in his hair and tension writ upon his face as he unwinds his scarf, if possible Ronin blanches further to hear about Stormbreak. "Gideon told you?" he says, incredulous. "I had no idea. I assumed they would be free to leave the city, to go elsewhere..." Pinching the bridge of his nose, another weight of the world adds itself to his shoulders for later contemplating. "That's awful."
