RONIN
the white knight
"Generous, humble, modest - I am all of those things," Ronin agrees with a ready bob of his head, his own laughter spilling out despite the steel in his shoulders and the knowledge that even in a relaxing space like this - a space they've been to plenty of times on purpose looking for this very lily, he might add - the weight of the world is able to find them. "There would be no greater joy for me than seeing the look on your face as you collect it," he fires back, the words murmured against Remi's lips, his fingers teasing across his lower back.
But then he goes and plays the fucking birthday card.
Groaning dramatically and splashing water at the Bastion, Ronin ushers him away at last and turns, with a dramatic huff, to regard the truly gorgeous and mythical Rae's Lily bobbing innocuously in the water not a foot away. "You really pick your moments, y'know?" he complains to the flower, reaching out to carefully collect it into his hands, rising out of the water so he can go and sequester it safely away with the rest of their belongings.
"Where were you a few days ago?" he continues his diatribe as he tucks it into one of their bags. "You had my husband wandering all over Caido on a quest, and you were just here sitting around in the water. Lazy, if you ask me."
Ronin begrudgingly collects the lily.
