I will fight the end
Chuckling, Ronin's shoulders roll a bit as if he can still feel the imaginary little claws scurrying around beneath his shirt. "If it makes you feel any better, the feel of you under my collar is absolutely better than when Echo was creeping around there," he says, following Remi's gaze to that back room. He remembers, too, when he had just found Sugar, traipsing to this very place half frozen to show off his find.
Closing his eyes at the press of the other man's forehead, Ronin breathes it all in like they might really be there. Like the man in his arms is no less wonderful, no less Lullaby, but a bit less Defender of the Greatwood Against the Ascended Threat. He'd like to live as the mighty monster hunter and clever alchemist again, even if it's just for a few minutes here on the edge of darkness.
"An ocean full of monsters. That's Caido," Ronin agrees with a grin, and he can't deny the way his heartbeat will flutter on Remi's wedding band at seeing the gentle sweetness in his husband's smile. It's enough to make him want to squeeze the alchemist close, to bottle this moment and enjoy it for everything it's worth. "Promise?" he says of their plan, of Leafchange and vampire soup. "I'd really like to taste it this time too, if it's all the same to you."
