I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
Groaning at that realisation, Ronin leans in without thinking to try to smother Remi's cheek and neck and lips with kisses, as if he can stop him from making such good and horrifying points. I suppose we'll have to get used to that new baseline of panic, he admits. Foolish of me to imagine that they'd be two bookworms, perfectly content to stay out of trouble and be safe. Even his mental laughter is enough that he's worried it might stir the twins, the Knight shaking his head.
But no - five minutes walking and they've already streaked down Kaiholo, set off a cannon, and stolen clothes and food. Five minutes. He tries not to sound impressed and completely fails.
The knowledge that they can at least be channelled in an emergency, then, is reassuring even if it isn't enough, as Remi quite rightly surmises. Nosing into his husband's curls and breathing in the scent of him, gin and smoke and orange and all, Ronin hums steady agreement at the conversations still to be had. And we should definitely teach them to read sooner than later - not that I expect they'll pay attention to warning signs even when they can understand them.
Smiling despite himself, Ronin can't help but nudge Remi gently. It was pretty funny, about the cannon, he admits.
