RONIN
THE WHITE KNIGHT
Where once mention of Safrin's name would have had Ronin's jaw tightening and his body growing subtly tense, nowadays he merely offers an agreeable laugh, eyes twinkling with mischief at the idea of visiting the lady of the stars on a spite quest.
"Oh, of that I have no doubt. Not sure if she was able to keep tabs on them since they left Caido, but if she did I hope she's gotten to see every misstep and failure." And that she'd be willing to share a highlight reel if Ronin ever goes to her shrine with popcorn as an offering.
But - as usual, and it had often been a source of friction between he and the goddess - as Remi's hands brush through his hair and he leans in close enough to share breath, everything else falls away. The ominous, pulsing chamber they stand within, the layers of Starfall they've crossed to get here, the fights and losses they'd suffered at the hands of the Family; all of it is second to brilliant, seaglass green and a touch he chases like an addict with a craving.
"Well when you put it like that," he mumbles, turning his head to try and land a kiss to Remi's fingertips, "I suppose we ought to be glad that it's just eldritch pods and imagined revenge, instead of anything weird."

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
