RONIN
the white knight
light is easy to love.
Letting his fingers slip against Remi's beneath the table as they sit together, Ronin takes a healthy sip of his drink before holding out the glass for the Bastion, not bothering to hide his smirk to hear his antics with their son. He might only understand a fraction of it, but if the theatrical gestures and smiles are anything to go by, Remi and Mateo are definitely enjoying each other's company. Sending a pulse of warmth and affection through the Attuned bond, by the time Ronin glances back towards Flora and Jack, his husband has already taken the proverbial bull by the horns on both fronts.
"It made me more hesitant," he clarifies, because that much had been true as well. "I was against any of us trying to head to Starfall until I knew we were ready and could go as a group, after what happened to Remi." Jack would likely agree if it had been Flora - and if Ronin believed he felt even a fraction for the Doubletake of what he feels for Remi. "If nothing else, at least Torchline is protected from the majority of the void." He levels a grateful nod towards Flora for that too, because it's in large part thanks to her.
But then it's on to their apologies, and though Ronin ought to have seen it coming, he has to take a deep breath and give Remi's hand a squeeze. "I'm sorry as well. And yes, I take back the things I said - they were uncalled for." And because he had been talking to Flora rather than Jack, what Ronin says is absolutely true. "As long as you're happy, I'm happy."
Begrudgingly so.
