RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
Ronin doesn't dare give a response to Remi's first remark, though the uncomfortable twist in his expression says a lot of it, and the flood of emotion down the bond supplies the rest. Even without Flora doing the asking, no part of him believes that Safrin won't be at least a little pleased to have their daughter under her wing, given how much water sits beneath the bridge between them. (Or has tried to drown them, in Remi's case). And given that her other demigods had been born of the stars, the fact that Flora had been chosen already lends an extra weight of responsibility to it all.
Groaning under his breath with the weight that line of thought brings with it, Ronin unconsciously clasps the Bastion closer, turning to kiss his curls as if to distract them both with the here and now. "Kai is a good man," he says quietly. "Flora wouldn't have chosen him if he wasn't. I just hope he can weather the harder parts of her new role as well as the celebrations." Only time would tell on that front, though.
"I will go and speak to her," he says softly. "Not right now - not when things are still so up in the air for both of us. But I will."
