I will fight the end
More than happy to lead their dance - though of course he would never, ever remark on their respective abilities, especially not at such a nice moment - Ronin can only let out a soft laugh that's promptly cut off by the gentle sweetness of his husband's lips. "For what it's worth," he says, "I would have danced with you in Northaven as well. I'd have just had to sneak us out onto a moonlit terrace somewhere. We'd still be able to hear the music, but no one would be able to see us."
He imagines that would have made it all the more exciting, in truth, but equally the Knight is glad that they'd never had to run the risk of jail or death for a dance. Glancing to Maea as she approaches, Ronin slows their steps and tilts his head, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
And when it does, of course he reacts as any demigod who has already been through war (and fought a god) might. Gentle dropping Remi's hands and already brimming with radiant light, Ronin quickly locates those most important to him across the Temple, and a duplicate of himself might have appeared somewhere near Flora.
"Is she still here?" he asks in a low voice. "Where do we direct people?" It's been a long time since he's been in the Grounds, and he no longer knows the location of any necessary safehouses. But if they've a fight on their hands, it's best that only those capable of combat are involved.

'til the end is here
