[SE] under the same sky

we live in a world someone else imagined

”So,” Ronin says, like it’s not the middle of the night and he’s not sprawled on a picnic blanket under the stars in the Greatwood. ”Hostile takeover in Halo. Sunjata quit as Governor in Torchline, and Aurelia and Maeve have taken over. Isla and Bastien have taken over the Hollowed Grounds. And you have your eye on this place.” Smirking over at his husband, the Star’s gaze soon returns to the cosmos overhead.

He can see Safrin’s warrior constellation from here, and he isn’t sure but it definitely seems brighter than it ever has before. Either way, as he tracks it across the sky, he can’t help but wonder if the being it’s based on ever had to deal with this kind of political upheaval. ”It’s bullshit, huh,” he mumbles with a shake of his head, stretching out and letting his antlers partially shift to crown his head, setting the area around them aglow.

REMI

the lullaby

Remi has his own thoughts about the takeover in Halo, but not because of the shift of power there. Because Hotaru had apparently been a part of it. The tense line of his jaw says probably all Ronin needs to hear about what he thinks of it, as much as the swipe of his fingers across his eyes says he doesn't want to articulate it. "It all seems...a bit like a game. Isla never wanted to rule, though I think she will be good for it. And Bastien?" He laughs, dazedly. "Aurelia and Maeve? And now Hotaru and Noah?" Remi doesn't know Noah at all, and hardly knows Hotaru truth be told. He thinks she has a good mind for it, but never did he think she'd have the desire for it. Not unlike Isla, in that regard, not that he'd ever tell the Remedy that.

Sliding an arm around Ronin without bothering to look at the constellation, Remi pulls in a slow breath that is meant to be calming but has no effect at all. "I am not particularly good with strategy when it comes to this sort of thing...so what do you make of it all?"
