[SWE] The Festival of Lights

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving Ronin's projection frittered away to allow his husband to stalk off towards the sea, leaving the real deal with the aftermath. Still, startled though people might be, the festival seemed to be proceeding as it should, and he sighed and adjusted Seren in his arms, pressing a gentle kiss against her curls. "Loren did something to upset him quite a lot," he explained as best he could. "He just needs a bit of time to cool off after seeing him. He'll be back soon, I'm sure." Amalia appeared as a perfect distraction in that moment, Ronin conjuring a smile for her. It was fiendishly awkward, that she already recognised his daughter (and treated her with such a strange amount of respect), Ronin glancing to Seren and back at the Shield again. "You would be quite right. Seren, this is my friend Amalia - ah! And this is Jyoti," he said of the starwhale as she drifted down. "Remi has stepped away for a bit. He saw Loren," he told Amalia. "Do you want to wait for him to come back...?" What she had for them was beyond him.
