even my darkness shines for you
Ronin's smile is almost a wince as he realises the truth in his husband's words, and he shrugs to the other man as if hopeful that they might be better than they were. (Unlikely, of course, given the fact that Remi has just been given the lily that will fling them back into conflict at best, and all out war at worst). "I suppose unless we make a schedule and try it out, we'll never know," he insists, rubbing at the salt on his forehead leftover by the sea water.
"You will with that attitude," the Knight continues as he takes Remi's hand and hauls himself to his feet, before ducking into the houseboat. And although he laughs, he can absolutely see where the Bastion is coming from. "Listen - as long as you let her know about it, regardless of all else, you've done the right thing." Whether Isla already knows and doesn't care, or doesn't know but still doesn't care when she finds out?
That's something only Remi can navigate with his friend, alas.
Ronin, at least, can be here for him now, and he pushes open the door to their little bathroom to set the shower running. "Behind it, in front of it, on top of it?" he asks with a raise of his brows, stepping under the jet of hot water and just able to hear Remi's words before the shower drowns them out. "Three?" he echoes, impressed. "All pirate ships and notorious ne'er-do-wells, I take?"
