I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
Tea is more than wildly insufficient, and Ronin's scoff of laughter is released under his breath out of habit. He doubts the two snoring boys will wake for anything short of a hurricane - or more cannon fire - but as infants things had not been quite so robust. Nevertheless, accepts the bottle Remi slides towards him and adds a generous measure to his tea, caring only vaguely about how it might taste.
The burn of the gin is grounding in a way that only liquor and his husband can be, and once Ronin is finished with one, he sidles up behind Remi for the other. My mind still thinks it's back at the beginning of the day, he admits, warm arms sliding around the Bastion's middle so he can draw them together without interrupting the alcoholic alchemy underway. When we woke up to find the cribs empty. Gods...
Sighing and letting his head drop to rest against Remi's shoulder, the familiar darkness and the smell of smoke and orange finishes what the gin had started. If it's all the same to you, I would rather you not stick your hand inside Caido again anyway, he adds, in case the other man is considering something a little less insane. Instead maybe I can interest you in figuring out how to make this houseboat big enough for four?
He'd assumed they'd have a lot more time - at least until the end of the season anyway - to figure this out.
