RONIN
At Remi’s quip Ronin would try to give his partner a playful shove, though whether it connected or not was irrelevant. He followed contently at the alchemist’s heels, watching with a warm smile as the shoots peeked up from the barren earth under the influence of Remi’s magic. When he finally chose a place for them to sit, Ronin let himself be tugged down, laying beside his husband to stare up at the blanket of stars.
Of course one in particular caught his eye - one always did - and of all things, he did not expect Remi to bring her up. Not just bring her up, either; whether because they were alike in their way of thinking or had been through enough shared trauma, Remi managed to voice something very dark and very precious that Ronin had been avoiding thinking about for some time now.
If the alchemist glanced across it would be to see the sudden tears in his husband’s eyes, and when he spoke his voice was rough with emotion. ”I think she put on a very brave face, when I left her up there,” he admitted. ”More and more I look at her and wish that she could be with Aoife, now that we can’t.”
