like the dawn breaks through the night

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving The touch to his cheek had Ronin’s eyes slipping shut, the hunter wanting to lean into it but not quite knowing how, so instead he just... stood with it. Let himself feel it, try to make sense of it. The light, the quiet, the way his mind was so loud and so vacant all at the same time. Shuddering, he recoiled to find Remi taking off his pants, the noise of the shower filling the room. ”You almost died,” he said, as if only just remembering it, shifting ever so slightly to step out of the rest of his clothes. ”I thought you’d died.” Stepping back under the stream of water, the Star rubbed at his face, drawing a shaking breath, and he visibly flinched at the sound of Aoife’s name. ”No,” he said. ”No, she’s not here.” It was unclear whether he was talking to Remi or himself.
