there will be scrapes and sutures; viciousness and victory
"...So that's why we're fixing up this wreck of a sailboat," Ronin concludes as he walks the deck of the little vessel, shrugging helplessly to Remi and testing the deck for any loose or broken planks. He'd gotten the boat from someone looking to scrap it, despite her being seaworthy enough. Bad memories or too much work to fix up or both, either way, one man's trash and all that - by the time the Taliesins are done with her, too, she'll hopefully be up to Flora's standards.
Having just recalled his meeting with their daughter and all of its nuances and difficulties, it's no lie that Ronin looks weary as he goes about his checks, but he's bright enough for the work ahead. Having anchored the vessel to the Northaven so they might hop between them for supplies and snacks and other necessities (mainly the aforementioned snacks), he moves to stand at the stern of the boat to smile to his husband. "Penny for your thoughts about it all, if you don't mind?"
