RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
"And that is all I ever ask," Ronin says with a smile, lifting their hands to leave a warm kiss against Remi's knuckles. At least if things go properly wrong again when he does speak with Flora, he won't have to relay it to Remi and relive it. What's more, they can both just yeet themselves into the sea for a bit afterwards, should they feel the need. But then Remi grows quiet again, and Ronin can feel the silent pain he carries as if it's something that belongs to them both, until the stillness of it threatens to suffocate him.
"I'd be inclined to believe it, but given how many times she has spoken with Safrin in the past - whether it's for Torchline's benefit or her own - if fear was the motivation, I feel like we'd have been able to tell." No, if anything, something in the goddess had resonated with Flora that was entirely apart from their own dealings with her.
And all of it makes sense, and all of it still feels deeply uncomfortable. Groaning under his breath so as not to wake the twins, Ronin suddenly gets to his feet, tugging Remi's hand to draw him up as well. "This is not useful," he decides. "I will speak to Flora, and we will keep doing our best. Now either kiss me, or we're taking it in turns to go for a cold swim to get this out of our systems."
