I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
As The Family's broadcaster crackles his way through their minds, Ronin, like his husband, falls completely still. His entire body tenses, and thoughts of Jack Barclay and their daughter's relationship to him suddenly feel very small and easy to deal with in comparison to the message they receive. Instinctively, the Knight peers up into the sky, as if he might be able to see exactly what has happened up in Stormbreak, though given that he'd been present (and arguably responsible) for the Tower's destruction once, it's all too easy to imagine the scenes far above.
By the time the broadcast ends, leaving a ringing and ominous silence in its wake, the Knight is holding Remi instinctively close, his face drawn and pale, his blue eyes flinty. "I don't know, but I'll bet every bit of revival magic I have that it's not fucking good," he mutters, voice pitched low as if worried Dahlia will hear them even from there.
"We need to send something to Deimos, to let him know we can't make it. I can speak to Sunjata, see if he's willing to try to progress things on Starfall instead? I saw Noah in Halo as well - maybe he'll pitch in." Suddenly getting to the core of the island seems just as necessary as their staying far away from it.
