even my darkness shines for you
Interesting is one word for it. Ronin has a bunch of others as well to describe Safrin, but it is not polite to say them in her daughter's company. And so instead he merely grins his agreement and continues working, until it becomes apparent that their efforts are in vain. "Hey, be careful," he begins as Seren shuffles on her belly to reach into the ice-hot hole they've made, to confirm with their fingers what he can see very clearly.
"Mm, it's a bit of a mission, this," he agrees, raking his hair back out of his face and shivering away his partial shift lest it cause any further melting that they really don't need. At Seren's glum look, though, he steps across the slush and crouches beside her, reaching out to pat the crown of her head. "Hey, it's not so bad. Think about it. You and I could hand pick some people to come along and help us out - like a band of adventurers, not just the two of us."
