RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
He'll never get enough of this, even if the circumstances are less than ideal. But the casual warmth shared between them, the easy touch, the identical adoration for their children paired with the exhaustion of knowing more than it feels wise to say... Ronin will only ever share that with Remi. And he doesn't take it for granted, despite the quiet thunder Flora had left in her wake, his free hand dropping to rest atop his husband's. His laughter is contagious, the Knight finding a chuckle rising up in his own throat, but he has to resist the urge to put his head in his hands as it tapers out.
"No, I get it," he says, tired and in love and forgiving all at the same time; forgiving of themselves and of Flora, though he doubts she'd ever admit to needing it from them. "Part of me hopes she can do better," he admits. "If only because if she can't..." He winces, shrugging his shoulders. "Don't get me wrong, Safrin and I have been on better terms lately than for a lot of my time as her demigod. But that's just it... we needed that distance to be healthy."
And the lady of the stars is nothing if not up front with her demand for loyalty, for devotion, for sacrifice at times. "Flora has more to lose now than she ever did before," he says, gaze dropping to their hands.
