RONIN

"Not a captain anymore. Perhaps I'm forgetting all my tactics." Ronin grinned and shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, I'm starting out again from scratch. Cut me a little slack, oh powerful magician." Laughing at the feathers that sprouted in Remi's hair, the hunter reached out to ruffle a hand through his curls as well, though the feathers had disappeared again by then. "I have nothing against them, I just thought you might prefer not to have them living in your hair," he remarked.

Listening quietly as Remi talked about Ianto, Ronin sighed and continued to let his hand play with the alchemist's curls. "That makes sense, when you put it like that. But... I don't know. I don't think there's an old you and a new you. Maybe I'm privileged though; we've changed together, since we got here. Anyone looking in might think differently."

Blinking his eyes open (he'd been quite comfortably laying with Remi thus far), Ronin was surprised to find the alchemist so close. A crooked smile played over his lips. "How dare you make this awkward by asking," he said; for that was not their way. Things had continued so naturally since his return from the stars that Remi having to seek permission just... it didn't feel okay.
