i have been quietly standing in the shade
For a moment Remi thought the guildmaster was joking, until the swaying-captain didn't sit back down and Remi looked up at him with helpless amusement.
But then he had a thought, a thought that wiped the smile right off of his face.
What if he wasn't taller?
He was prettysurehewasbiggertaller than Ronin but...
And so, as boys were want to do, Remi indeed stood up, bracing himself with one hand on the table as he gaze Ronin his more formidable and intimidating scowl. Raising his chin and standing up straight and in no way trying to cheat, Remi took a stumbling step forward nearly chest to chest with Ronin now. And, with impeccable measuring acuity, Remi did one of those scoop-motions from the top of his head to the top of Ronin's, clearly showing just how much taller he was.
"Hah!" He declared proudly even though he'd never cared much about his height before.
At the mention of being 'just Ronin', Remi snorted and nodded. "Well, you have just fallin' from the sky, so I don'know how just you are anymore, but yeah. I would prefer that." Then, poking his friend in the sternum since Remi was suddenly quite sure he deserved it, he added, "If it isn't too much trouble o'course."
"I'm a thoughtful kinda guy," Ronin shrugged his shoulders, grinning and running a finger around the rim of his glass. Still, he gave a gasp of offence at being called little man, the guildmaster getting rather unsteadily to his feet and waggling a finger right back at Remi. "I'll have you know that we're prettymuchthesame height!" He beckoned for Remi to get on his feet and prove it.
By then, of course, the mood had dampened somewhat, Ronin stumbling a little on his feet as though the floor was moving a bit beneath him. "S'okay," he said with a gentle and sunny smile. "I don't mind, being the one who knows what to do. I was a captain, I can do that. No damseling. I'll just be Ronin. Is that okay?"
