RONIN
the white knight
light is easy to love.
I can imagine in horrifying detail, yes, Ronin confirms through the bond, finally allowing himself a ridiculous and giddy smile when the boys go ahead to walk through the door. I'll add it to the list of my apologies, not to worry. Though I am curious to know whether she will decide to put them in jail.

He thinks they're finally going to be shut away in The Northaven - which, Ronin will realise very soon, is vastly smaller than it seemed when their twins were more like extensions of themselves than little people in their own right - when shadowgate promptly lands at their feet, and he gazes at Remi's lack of shadow with exaggerated surprise.
"Maybe," he says gravely, entirely willing to play along with this because it has been a hard morning and he's already halfway to hysteria anyway. "Come on, I'll help to look as well. You should try the cupboards in the kitchen - it's where I was looking for the two of you. Maybe your dad's shadow snuck in while the doors were open."
Ushering his lemon and lime twins into the houseboat, Ronin is sure he'll be exhausted by this later, but for now at least, their boys are home. Safe and fed too, evidently, if not anything like when they'd left.
