[PQ] Dionysus Reborn

Vanya glanced at Bastien with a crooked smile, quirking a brow. "These are Safrin's colors?" the osprey asked curiously. She glanced back at her painting, and she crinkled her nose just slightly at it. The painting was messy and full of broad, curving strokes heavy with paint that would dry with deep texture, but it wasn't... well, it wasn't what Ronin had on his canvas.    She flashed a bright and grateful grin at Bastien, murmuring her gratitude at his thoughtfulness as she accepted the juice over the alcohol provided to Ronin and Remi. She rolled her eyes teasingly at the former, nudging her shoulder against his as she took her drink. "Shirts are the work of demons," she muttered back, following after him to where Bastien had indicated and where Remi was already waiting.    The bronze skinned woman settled into the plush cushions with Ronin and lounged against him with a sigh, feeling more relaxed than she expected to. She was a social creature, so perhaps it was simply being with others with Ronin at her side that had her so at ease. She took a sip of her juice, watching Bastien as he spoke passionately of his home in a way she couldn't help but smile at. Venice. She had never heard of such a place, but she had seen some spectacular architecture in her time. Vanya's eyes flicked to Remi then, and she smiled softly at him with a sharp pang in her chest. The Ocean. She missed it so much it ached - it had been her ever changing, ever moving goddess and love that carried her family and their ship for their entire lives.    Ronin's answer brought a rueful look on her face, and she settled her arm over his leg to squeeze his thigh gently. There had been little to love about Northaven, caged in and the settlement tearing itself apart while Ronin had thought to take it upon himself to hold it together. But the people lost..    Vanya smiled sadly and looked down to her drink, furrowing her brow. "I miss the Ocean. My ship..." She looked up at Bastien then. "But it's my family I miss. My brothers, and my sister. I miss them more than anything." vanya I've got a love like religion.
