I Got You, Babe

Vanya felt her skin warm with the way Ronin looked at her, and she wasn't quite sure what she did to earn such a look. She held his reverent gaze for a moment longer before she dropped her eyes down to the pendant over his chest once more. A slender finger traced over the edges of it, and she wondered exactly what this goddess must be like to leave him so... light. She was smiling when he kissed her, and she decided she would like to know more about this Safrin. She felt like she could take on the world right there in Ronin's arms, do anything - and they would. Her faith in Ronin was as fathomless as the Ocean herself, there wasn't anything that could shake that. If anything, the way he spoke of this goddess, of the blessing she gave him... He was incredible. She had known the very day she spotted him painting on the rocks that he was something different, someone worth opening her heart to. Vanya had been wrong. He was worth so much more than that. "Sometimes offerings are little more than food or money," Vanya said, thinking. "But I always found that silly. What need do gods have of mortal food and currency? I always thought symbolic offerings were better." She flickered a smile and leaned down to rest her head over Ronin's chest, remembering. "On full moons, sometimes I would fly over the side of the ship and go for a swim, and I'd release a tiny raft with shells I found while on land. Returning something to her with a prayer." She spoke wistfully, smiling softly to herself. Then she scoffed and lifted her head again. "If you asked Aramis, he'd have gone on some passionate speech about blood sacrifice." She rolled her eyes with a shake of her head, thinking of her youngest brother. Vanya's smile dimmed, and she glanced down. Aramis. She missed him. She missed all of them. Did they miss her at all? Were they all together? "Do you..." Vanya took a deep breath, looking back up at Ronin with her brows drawn together. "Do you think Safrin would know how to find them?" vanya i will leave a light on.
