Together. They would find her family, they would make sense of all this, they would begin their own family - together. She let a deep sigh that seemed expel a measure of her tension with it, and she decided she would think of all of it tomorrow. The day had been shell-shocking surely, and if Vanya was as exhausted as she was.. she nestled her head along his shoulder, her lips gently brushing over that starburst of a scar. But then.. then Ronin laughed. Feeling that, hearing it, and Vanya grinned broadly and fully and laughed herself - she couldn't help it.
She picked up up her head and wrinkled her nose at the posh sound in his voice, but she was still smiling as she glanced around the decrepit house. It didn’t look so cold or so lonely with the warm glow of the fire, long shadows dancing and filling in the empty space where life was supposed to be. The dust was enough to make her cringe.. But she’d clean it. She considered the life growing in her, and resolve gripped her tightly. They would make this a home. They had to.
She looked back at Ronin and smirked. ”Well, darling,” she said. ”I do have one material request before we find you a feather bed.” She adjusted how she sat in his lap, until her legs wrapped around him and her arms looped around his neck. Behind his back, her toes wiggled. ”I never in my life thought I’d say it… but I really need some shoes.”
