What do you get when two ruthless assassins raise their daughter travelling through the wildest reaches of Caido? Take one look at Theea and you'll get a pretty good idea. Cheerful and tenacious in equal measure, and curious beyond all else, she began her journey on a mission to find those her mother once called family. And find them she did, soon rubbing elbows with demigods, leaders and even ghosts from the past. Her determination is resolute, her thirst for knowledge unmatched. We can't wait to see where her next adventure takes her!
Congratulations, Theea!

Finding it exceptionally difficult to take himself back out to where all the action is, Ronin has slunk into The Northaven and gotten his glass of water, though he's yet to take a sip of it as he gazes out at the ocean without really seeing it at all. Unbeknownst to the Knight, of course, things have just imploded with such force that there's no rescuing it, but with a chance to let his thoughts sit and ripple and grow still, he's starting to feel a little more steady at least. For now.
Eventually taking a drink from his glass and setting it, half empty, back down on the counter, Ronin runs his fingers through his hair and takes a deep breath, huffing it out through his nose and turning for the door. The door he still hasn't fixed properly after Flora had broken it, by the by. Grumbling to himself at that memory (even if he hadn't been there to see it directly), he rubs at his forehead and moves to step back outside, ready for round three.

With his shoulders hunched and his chin tucked a touch childishly against his chest, Remi makes his way toward the Northaven. Whether or not Mateo has decided to stay or to go he's left to the botanist, and should he have abandoned the beach for somewhere more cheerful, Remi is quite happy to let the hels eat the remainder of the food, such is his ability to care about anything past fitting himself into his husband's arms. Feeling like a kicked puppy even though that certainly wasn't the appropriate analogy given his behaviour, nevertheless the Bastion longed for his husband to wrap his arms around him tightly and say that everything was going to be okay.
"Ro—oh." Nearly knocking into the Knight, the tension in their bond having become so thick as to be a touch confusing to navigate, Remi stumbles back a step and offers his husband a weary smile. "Flora and Jack left." He explains, swallowing thickly as his eyes raise a touch guiltily. "Things...well, they got heated after you left."

It's quite rare for the Taliesins to startle one another with their presence, but clearly it isn't impossible, and Ronin is equally as surprised to see his husband on the other side of the door as he opens it. "What are... oh. Oh. Shit." However tense and clouded the bond between them, at least Remi can rest assured that the Knight knows what's needed purely by instinct these days, and he reaches out to gently corral the other man into The Northaven.
With a heavy sigh, he steps in to wrap his arms around the Bastion, holding him tightly against his chest and scowling somewhere over his shoulder at nothing in particular. "I hate this," he whispers. "Sorry I wasn't there for what happened. Are you okay...?" Is everyone else? That question goes without saying, but that doesn't mean, as ever, that Ronin isn't worried about Remi first and foremost given what had happened last time.

Stumbling forward, his weight pitched entirely against the Knight, Remi gasps sharply as the air is squeezed from his lungs accompanied by a pulse of shaky relief and affection through the bond. Had the situation not been so serious, Remi might have tried to pin some of the blame on Ronin for not having been around to soothe the tension with his mere presence, but in all honesty, he thought Jack was to blame for the majority of the escalation. Maybe that would turn out to be wrong, but for the moment Remi was fairly convinced that the captain knew precisely what it was he was doing, leaving Remi to wonder why.
"Well, Flora didn't hit me this time, and I didn't hit Jack, so.." Tangling his arms around his husband's body, shuffling forward enough to be considered properly inside the Northaven rather than lingering in the open doorway, Remi's hands ruffle beneath Ronin's shirt, desperate to feel his magic at work against the warmth of his husband's skin. Pressing his fingertips against Ronin's body as if he might be able to claw back the moments that had gotten away from him, the Bastion sighed deeply, his arms flinching with tension. "I told Mateo he could stay, but I doubt if he will." He murmurs.
"Gods I really hate that guy." Feathering his jaw, Remi tries to exhale the tension that has his shoulders creeping up toward his ears. "It was bad enough seeing him toy with Flora as if his hold over her was something to wave in our faces, but after you left..." Huffing against Ronin's shirt, Remi shakes his head. "..he really is just a miserable bastard of a man."

"Count our blessings, huh," Ronin says with a flat smile, reaching out to close the door as best he's able given how the latch is still busted and the hinges are still unhappily bent out of shape. Shifting back only enough to be able to drag his shirt over his head to save Remi the trouble of trying to squirrel his hands beneath it, the Knight lets out a heavy sigh and sends out a tide of warmth towards his husband, the feeling undercut by a weary sort of acceptance of all that has just happened and gone wrong.
Furrowing his brow and leaning to the side enough to peer out the window, he does see Flora saying goodbye to Mateo, the botanist slouching back into his seat when she's gone and pouring himself another large drink. "He's still there for now," he says sadly. Gods, they should go and see him, the Knight letting one hand wind around Remi's waist while the other works through his curls.
"Yeah," he agrees of Jack, his blue eyes growing a fraction darker. "And I tend to be fine with most people, but..." He shakes his head, unsure if his dislike of the captain comes from a fatherly upset, an instinctive dislike or a mixture of the two. "I guess this a sign to see Flora by ourselves from now on, if she'll have us."

i've got a river for a soul
Following Ronin's lead and helping himself out of his shirt as well, Remi immediately slides his arms back around his husband's body as if he wouldn't be able to draw breath if they weren't in contact. "Is he? That's..." Frowning, the Bastion closes his eyes. "..good? I think?" Gods, they really should go see him. It was his fault that dinner went so badly off the rails, and he shouldn't have to suffer for it.
"I was surprised that you left, honestly." Remi rumbles in agreement, if only because the Knight's patience these days seemed almost infinite, especially when it was tasked with enduring someone intentionally trying to get under his skin the way Jack was. "Mmm. Or maybe we just wait it out. There's no way it can last." Of that he was quite certain. Whatever summer romance this was, it would disappear by Deepfrost, and gods knew they'd gone longer than a few seasons without seeing their daughter before, terrible as that was. They could be there to help pick up the pieces if not to say I told you so.
"Maybe I'll write to Sunjata and Hotaru about it, just so that they're aware. It'll give us something to talk about at dinner if nothing else." A dinner they really ought to schedule sooner rather than later at this rate.

"Is it?" Ronin wonders, clutching Remi all the closer as if it might serve to alleviate the seemingly endless guilt that bleeds out of him when it comes to their children. "Just a couple more minutes like this. Then we'll go out to him," he decides; they won't be any good to Mateo still seething over Jack's presence, after all. And so, letting out a long, hard sigh that drags his ears away from his shoulders, he considers the Bastion's next remark.
"I just... I hate the idea of Flora being in the same position with Safrin as you were. I didn't think I'd be able to stay civil about it, and she's already made it clear that it doesn't matter what we think - for better or worse - so I... yeah. I left." Letting both hands run carefully through the other man's curls before stroking them down the back of his neck and over his shoulders, Ronin shakes his head. "Maybe I'll send something to her. Let her know she's always welcome, just so she doesn't think we don't want her to reach out..."
Writing is on both of their minds, so it seems, and Ronin nods, a whisper of a smile on his face. "I'll go up to the Cordillera in a couple of days to make sure the Tramezzino hasn't fallen apart." Where better place to have a demigod dinner party, after all?

Huffing a dark laugh against his husband's shoulder, Remi sneers against the Knight's bare skin. "He had the nerve to say he kept his personal and professional life separate when it came to Safrin. That she'd have promised you anything you wanted if you'd pick her over me, and.." Biting hard at the inside of his cheek, Remi can't help the feathers that snarl down his spine as he fights to keep his hands from turning into claws. "..I got the feeling they were both aware that if such an offer was given, they both knew what Jack would choose."
Gods how he hated that for his daughter.
Humming a vague sound of agreement, neither of them knowing what would happen up in the Cordillera, Remi forces himself to straighten. For all the mental space Flora was currently taking up, she wasn't their only child, and for too long the pair had been rather singularly-focused on only one child at at time.
"Come on, lets go see Mateo."
