RONIN
the darkstar
”My thoughts exactly,” Ronin agrees, though at Remi’s question his brow furrows a little. ”Ah... we did, yes. Though as I say it, I realise it’s the sort of thing I might have spoken to you about first.” His hand leaves the tanned warmth of the alchemist’s skin, briefly, so he can show his husband the tan line where one of his rings is missing. ”Nate and Sunjata don’t get to hear each other, the way Attuned do. The same as you and I, before I could...” His eyebrows bounce up, indicating the antlers he’s only recently put away.
”I thought it would be a nice gift for them, to be able to have that kind of connection. I hope you don’t mind - I know you made that ring for me. I made Jata swear to take care of it.” His smile is bashful, like he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t be.
Tugging Remi closer, Ronin kisses his curls and lets his fingertips trace the small of his back. ”The day you got sick, I was trying to surprise you with a honeymoon,” he explains. ”I had hired us a boat, and I’d told Sunjata that he could act as Governor for a week in your absence. We were going to sail around Torchline, just the two of us. Drinking, catching fish, playing cards, whatever you wanted. I know it’s not really the time or place for it now, with Mateo. But how about I take you on that date we talked about?”
