”Ama,” Ronin says, his tone dry and amused as he tries to meet her eyes even as she stares so painstakingly at anything but him. ”When have you ever been in the way?” She’s been living with them and she knows from experience by now that it doesn’t stop them at all - and if that turns out to be the case here, Amalia will know blatantly that it’s time to leave.
As if sensing her anxiety, he reaches out to snag her hand, giving her a small tug as if to unstick her feet from the ground. ”What’s wrong? This is a happy occasion, I thought?” Ronin grins, nodding at the canteen she’s still holding. ”Maybe we should put that in the bathroom so it can thaw out. Probably the warmest place.”
