everything has its wonders
Ronin has no response for his husband; not when (at least at first) Remi comes off so logical. Torchline is a dangerous place, but nothing gives the Governor the right to walk around and take hits at anyone he feels like. He doesn't blame the alchemist for his defensiveness - honestly, given that they don't yet know the state of Vai or the circumstances surrounding what has happened, it's hard for Ronin to stop his imagination running away with him as well - and he slows his steps as the Mathair comes into view, silent and brooding in the dark.
"Okay," the Star says slowly in response to the dark words that leave his husband's lips. It's neither approval or denial - mere acknowledgement of things as they are. "Will you let me try to find out why first, if it comes to that?" It won't come to that, he wants to say. "Will you be able to find out yourself, if you touch him?"
They're speaking as if Sunjata isn't someone they know well. As if he isn't someone Ronin trusts. And it's rough, Ronin can't deny that.
