everything has its wonders
The conflict that rages within Ronin is much less violent, much less overt. Partially it's because he literally doesn't have the facility to tear up the world like he might otherwise do, but it's also simply not how he's built. Ronin implodes - Remi, the opposite. One of many reasons why the two men work so well together. So it makes sense, in some ways, that Ronin reaches out for his husband as they walk, his hand closing around the Lullaby's, not to calm him, merely to ground him.
"If he did," he says quietly, fingers squeezing against Remi's, "then I will stand and watch you do whatever it is you need to do." Need on a personal level; nothing to do with duty, nothing to do with right and wrong. Ahead of them the trees begin to thin, suggesting the Mathair's clearing is close by. "But until then, until we know, this is more about Vai than it is about Jata. Right?"
