RONIN
THE WHITE KNIGHT
Ronin can't help but to snort out a laugh at Remi's suggestion, and as the baby in his arms rejects the bottle again with a well-timed swat of a tiny hand, for a second he's just about tempted to try it. "Maybe they just hate being on the water," he seconds, though he supposes there might be a grain of potential truth in that. "Can newborns get seasick?" On a houseboat at anchor in a relatively calm sea, no less?
Both twins are squalling now though, and thinking in complete sentences is no longer a privilege the noise allows him, and so the Knight finally surrenders to the plan he'd been making. "Alright," he says, voice rising a little louder to be heard over the din, and he grins and nods towards their bed. "Go get comfy and we'll see if they settle when they're together. If you're not deafened, I'll take it as a sign for me to go and start moving us inland?"

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
