RONIN
THE WHITE KNIGHT
Gods, nametags, Ronin says, quietly awed by his husband's genius and letting a real, soft laugh escape his lips for a moment. Actually, I think I did write their names inside the onesies... Reaching out, he very carefully peeks for the label at the back of one of the twins' baby-grows, letting out a long sigh of relief. This one is Calan, he declares to Remi of the baby closest to him. And if he wasn't when he was born, he is now forevermore.
He hasn't intended to sour the mood, especially not with something as personal as the potential curse of Remi's magic, and as Ronin feels the way his husband seems to turn inward - even without the bond or the magic at play - he reaches for him immediately. No - no, I don't think so, he tells him with instant conviction, clasping his hand and squeezing it gently. Remember, you project your emotions out as well as absorbing them from others. If they'd inherited it, we'd know exactly what they wanted.
No, it's not impossible that they'd been passed some element of it, but at the same time, the likelihood is miniscule regardless of what evidence there might be. Maybe we should ask Flora if she remembers how it was when she and Enzo were little. I imagine they were also inseparable.

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
