I will fight the end
Letting out a bright laugh as Remi complained, Ronin was happily silenced by the lips that came to meet his own, and he felt himself unconsciously relax. "Absolutely not," he said softly. "You are not meant to be upset - you've spent too long being upset lately. Luckily, yours truly is here to make sure you always have a reason to smile." With a charming grin, he shrugged. "Or in the case of my being an idiot, laugh instead."
Regardless of his attempts to cheer Remi up, however, what the alchemist had to say was regrettably sobering. Humming out a sigh, Ronin gathered Remi against him and settled back against the stones. "We can pay a visit to Amalia later and get her views on it," he said softly, frowning a touch at Remi's determination, but currently offering no opinion of his own - king or otherwise.
Because it was his war, now. Now that Safrin's starlight ran through his veins, now that her magic had spared their daughter - now Ronin's duty was to the Old Gods, however much he might like to play otherwise. "We will make sure no one gets hurt," he said finally. "Not Roana. Not the Ascended. No one."
