Ronin is braced for the argument, in truth, and he's pleasantly surprised when it doesn't come. Contrite at having brought up a criticism - it's still a very uncomfortable thing to do, even though they have promised each other that this is the new normal - he offers his husband a smile that's almost shy in its warmth. "I can be flippant, it's true," he says with a nod. "I'll work on that too. We'll find a balance, between us, I think." Or at the very least, they'll talk about it.
And that's just as good, these days.
"The Baron Wallows, or The Lullaby's Smile," he shoots back, though as Remi tries to smoulder at him, Ronin looks a mix of confused and concerned, as if wondering if his husband is about to dribble or throw up. "Is what that bad? Your fashion sense? Absolutely not - I'm just playing with you. I love how you look, and I'd find it weird if you started dressing up. Your hair, though? I could give you a haircut, I think. And a shave."
