there will be scrapes and sutures; viciousness and victory
The distance is as necessary as it is reluctant, Ronin unconsciously echoing his husband with a long and grounding sigh, even if his hand remains happily captured beneath Remi's. "Well, on the plus side," he murmurs, "I no longer feel so uncomfortable down here." All thanks to the Bastion and his wicked tongue, and Ronin will be sure to show his gratitude in all manner of ways once they're back beneath the open sky.
For now, though, Remi makes an annoyingly good point, and although he grumbles good-naturedly towards the rest of Omphalos, Ronin nods. "That's all the motivation I need," he says, drawing his hand back at last and capturing the other man's fingers to press a kiss to the back of his palm, before turning them towards the vast wounds in the earth made by the departure of this alien, would-be god.
He doubts they'll find anything of much interest - and that in itself is a satisfying middle finger to the Family and their legacy, but at least they can have fun searching. (And even more fun afterwards).
