gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
"Oh absolutely," Ronin assures her, his hand fluttering to his heart as if to promise to give her a good funeral. "Even in death, though, I would never let Remi loose on colour coordinations. He can choose the flowers, but I will arrange them." And veto any that look hideous. Though he does happily drop the subject from her faux-death in lieu of less morbid conversations. Not that, y'know, they get any better.
Ronin raises his eyebrows at Hotaru's tale of stabbing and violence and the like, and unbidden a smile comes to his face. "I beat the hell out of him and threatened to leave Kamaria fatherless when I found out," he counters, as if to tar them with the same unfortunate brush in that regard. "It wasn't my finest moment, and Safrin wasn't best pleased with me either. But as you say - I love her all the same."
Gazing now from the uneven structure back to Hotaru, Ronin pretends to look offended, flexing his muscles for good measure. "Are you sure they won't topple it even just a little?" he complains with a boyish grin, before curling a finger up towards the clouds to call his nimbus down again. "I promise you will not fall off," he assures her, hopping aboard and patting the space beside him as if it isn't made entirely of cloud.
