RONIN
"Careful," Ronin chides gently as Remi risks giving himself a friction burn or worse on the area where the suckers had bubbled to the surface. Little by little the amusement fades into something warm and deeply affectionate, concern mingling with the glee he'd felt initially as the Lullaby literally flees his own body to recover. "Oh-- sure," he murmurs, mainly because it is already happening.
While Remi shivers away the aftershocks of sucker-play, Ronin takes the opportunity to wrestle the roast into the oven (he adds whole potatoes, very roughly chopped carrots, along with sprigs of rosemary, thyme and other seasonings). And by the time his husband returns in earnest, at least dinner will happen eventually.
"Well," he argues back, "if I had known earlier that they were the lesser of two evils, maybe I wouldn't have been so squeamish." Looking appropriately triumphant, Ronin saunters back over to the couch where his husband has (regrettably) just sat himself back up, nonetheless trying to climb into his lap and sink his full weight onto him; it's fine because there's an apron between them, alright?
"Feeling any better?" he wonders, letting his fingers press down the corded muscle of Remi's neck and shoulders to try and find sore spots to relieve.
