RONIN
the darkstar
light is easy to love.
Ronin wants to cling onto the uplift in mood, even though he knows that, right now at least, it's just another coping mechanism to avoid talking about the difficult things. His lips part as if to object as Remi begins his tirade about Safrin - he doesn't believe him, that he doesn't despise her - but then the alchemist continues, and Ronin shifts on the bed as if he's uncomfortable. "I didn't know. Why didn't you explain at least that much?" he asks. "You said, when we got Mateo, that there was something you couldn't talk about. I didn't know it was about Safrin."
And already his stomach is churning to find out what it could be, and only knowing what it would mean for Mateo stops him from asking further questions. So, with heat in his cheeks and eyes that still prickle, Ronin huffs out a long sigh and rolls his shoulders. Don't, he wants to say as Remi twists the knife with the news about Vi. Don't make the only comfort I've had lately be a lie.
But it is a lie, and it's a sad reality where Ronin believes Remi so easily over his goddess.
The Lullaby's smile doesn't seem to fit their conversation, tight-lipped as it might be, and Ronin finds himself on his feet all of a sudden, restless of the turmoil they're in. "You keep saying it as if our best will never happen again. As if we're over the peak already, and it's just downhill forever from here. It... it can be exhausting," he confesses.
Glancing over his shoulder to Remi, he furrows his brow sadly. "What do you care about, Remi?"

show me your darkness.
