I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
I will make a note to tell you much more often, Ronin says, smirking and setting his mug down just as Remi turns to draw them back together. Some parts of him are still knotted up about this sudden change - the sight of their children snoring away in bed hasn't quite married together with the fact that their babies are missing - but each touch from his husband goes a little way towards unpicking that worry.
Following his gaze around the far-too-cluttered houseboat and seeing with fresh eyes what it could become with the right involvement, a cord of tension in his shoulders snips away and he sighs it out for good. That's another good point, he says, amusement dancing along the bond like something warm and fizzing.
And this way we'll still be able to move around if we need to, he adds. A leviathan and kraken have nothing to fear from the open water, and a houseboat is innocuous enough to be tucked away in any cove for safekeeping. I will speak to Vi before Longnight, he decides, leaning in to kiss Remi's forehead. And for now, I suppose you and I can sleep in our shifts?
