and on to the glory at my right hand
"Oh, it absolutely was," Ronin assures his husband, grinning and putting the practice blades away. "The rapier you've got was the sort of shit I imagine the Launceleyns would have used. All tucked away to look like a cane or an umbrella or something," he says with a roll of his eyes. "In war you'd use a short or long sword, something you'd probably find much easier to use." Stabbing, slashing, brute force as well as finesse - not nearly as delicate as the style required by the rapier.
Surrendering his hand and scoffing to hear that he had, in fact, been expected to magic up an answer for the other man, Ronin draws Remi close against him, letting his chin drop to rest on his shoulder. "Mm, Deimos also uses his magic and shifts more than weapons," he says. "I'd not want to accidentally make him weaker by making this his responsibility. Also, can you imagine Wilde's rapier in comparison to him? Like giving a bear a toothpick."
That it's between he and Sunjata has his brow furrowing, Ronin sighing and pressing a kiss to the Bastion's jaw. "And both of us prefer to punch our problems in the face," he says with a smirk. "I'd have suggested someone else - someone less involved in all this, but gods, keeping an ace in the hole like that at home seems foolish."
