RONIN

"I mean, if you want to be the problem when the sea is ice cold and the wind is cutting, by all means, but I feel like you'll be the one doing the most complaining about it," Ronin says with a playful huff. He's wrong, besides; the Knight will most definitely be the more dramatic out of the two of them, but his point still stands, however poorly made it might be. "And I don't feel as though you really find me a problem in Leafchange," he boasts, blowing on his coffee again. "In fact, I think you enjoy it."

Slurping obnoxiously from his mug, both to be annoying and to avoid burning his lips, he releases the soft curl coiled around his finger to let his hand stroke down the back of Remi's neck instead. "If we did put it all down once and for all, we'd only be bored of it. And besides, you know we'd come running into danger if anything threatened our family again. It's half the reason we are where we are." It's not as if they were made demigods without precedent, after all.

Setting his mug down and slanting a grin at Remi as he speaks again, Ronin shrugs a casual shoulder. "Oh I can think of several ways," he purrs, "and we don't need to leave the bed for any of them. Though I feel as though I should check you for bruises and broken bones after my behaviour last season." What with all the ravishing.
