my heart is yours to break

right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up

'A townhouse, makes sense. Since you all had a town-sized-space to live in." Remi says under his breath, trying not to be too charmed by how easy it is for Ronin to draw himself up into someone else completely. Indeed, standing and looking over the plaza as he was,  Remi half expected to see a sneer of disapproval for the rabble below. But now, it was just Ronin. His Ronin.

Remi's relief spills out in a puff of laughter as he nods. "Especially with having Ludo hold Mateo's life over me, and the tie between you and Safrin because of Seren...I feel like there are too many strings pulling at us as it is." Then again, if it was Safrin who wanted another child, what would they do then? Rather than just swallowing down that uncertainty, Remi shakes his head. "I know we're going for open and honest, but that feels a little too...much for this morning."

Could it be that easy? Could they actually just tell each other what they wanted and needed just like that?
