you've long seen your downfall, spelled out in another's bones
Surprised by his own laughter at Remi's comment, the immediate thread of gold that washes through their bond ought to be more than enough, at least, to absolutely reaffirm his love, even if the other man hadn't needed it. Allowing Remi to draw himself up onto his knees, Ronin's lips offer a warm welcome, his arms slipping around the Bastion to hold him close. I've made plenty of mistakes and hurt you as well, he reminds him softly. And I am sorry for all of them.
Drawing back so he might get them both on their feet, Ronin spends a few sun-bright moments simply holding his husband, as if to relish the easy way they can still stand in each other's presence, even after such a tumultuous conversation. Eventually - and only when they are good and ready - does the Knight turn to lead them back onto the Northaven, his fingers entwined with Remi's, as they should be.
