& my heart ran away from me
Remi huffs softly—not quite a laugh, not quite a sigh—and lets his arms settle fully around Ronin’s waist, tucking them together in the quiet space between weathered wood and the complexities of being both parents and demigods. "Mmm. I don’t mind fixing up a boat," he murmurs, voice low and fond against Ronin’s jaw. "It feels nice to make something with you."
His curls twitch under the gentle twist of Ronin’s fingers, and though he doesn't speak of it aloud, the way his magic flares faintly in response betrays the ache of frustration and helplessness still coiled beneath his ribs. They should be doing more, if only there was a clear way forward. But then again, what would be left of either of them if Flora or Mateo were caught in the crossfire?
"Maybe you should ask him. I have not spoken to him since LongNight." Memories of the gift placed at Mateo's feet, of promises to be available if and when his son was ready to talk ringing in his ears.
Straightening, Remi twists and gives an experimental rap against a nearby wall to try and gauge the sturdiness of its construction. "Want to place bets on what Flora will call this thing when we're doing with it?"
