RONIN
the white knight
"It has its challenges, but plenty of advantages too," Ronin admits with a lopsided smile. "And we're lucky in that we've got plenty of friends and family in Torchline if we need a little extra space." Not to mention, they're not exactly unfamiliar with living off the land if needed - it's exactly what they're doing up in Meadowreach right now, after all.
His expression softens further at the thought of whether they might have a son or a daughter waiting to bloom, and Ronin shakes his head gently. "I have no idea," he says readily, "and I don't have a preference either. All I want is for them to be happy and healthy - and not to be bothered by the high-land cows while they're still growing." He chuckles; he doesn't go as far as to say the cows are at risk of becoming burgers if they try anything, but it's definitely a thought as he stands before the grill with Zavien.
Flipping a few more patties and adding a couple to the growing pile as they cook through, he gives the other man a gentle nudge. "You'll be in fight or flight for a while," he says, his voice low with having lived it. "It took me over a year. But you can't rush that either, y'know? Sometimes it's just got to be enough, to stand here breathing and watching everyone else rebuild."
