[God Quest] Things didn't kill me but I don't feel stronger

Remi's expression softens into something weary and deeply understanding as he watches Ronin's gaze drift skyward. His fingers flex gently against the Knight's back, offering silent reassurance even as a fresh wave of emotional exhaustion settles between his own shoulder blades.

Leaning forward, the Bastion kisses Ronin lightly. "We'll figure it out," he murmurs against the Knight's lips, determination threading through the words despite the lingering weight still heavy against his ribs. "For now, though, let's just get you inside, mm? I'd like to think we've filled our danger quota for today."

& i know that you'll use them, however you want to
