"You hear right," Ronin agrees with a laugh, giving her a warm squeeze as she embraces him in return and dropping a kiss against her dark hair. "I'm just glad Remi opted to have this start at late afternoon. At least people have plenty of time to catch up with one another." Like the two of them right now; and whether he ought to feel guilty or not, that feeling is almost baked-in when it comes to his children, and especially those that reside in Mort's realm.
Sipping at his wine, the Knight nods emphatic agreement. "He really did," he says softly. "No idea how any gift I might have gotten him will hold up against this." But then Seren is asking about him, and Ronin turns his head to rest it against his daughter's, letting the silence swallow them for a few beats. (As much silence as they are like to get with the festivities swarming all around).
"It's been rough," he admits freely. "Losing you. Not knowing why, or how. Your mother and I both struggled. But I think I'm getting better - especially after tonight." Ronin's smile grows warmer and he turns to hug Seren properly, forgetting about the drink in his hand. "I'm sorry things ended the way they did for you," he mumbles.
