long shadows

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving Ronin has gone back for another taste stir of the stew when Sugar trills her delight, and his companion's assertion of Remi's presence is enough to distract him from dinner. Indeed, as he turns to gaze at the darkened forest that stretches behind him, the sight of his husband has his stomach doing a happy little flop, as is always the case these days and has been for some time. "Hey!" he calls, raising his hand in a wave. Straightening up and away from the stew, instead Ronin moves to prepare a couple of chairs for them to sit and eat - they're nothing more than tree stumps really, leftovers from the work they've been doing recently, but they work. "I was worried you'd gotten lost in the woods," he continues with a chuckle; Sugar all the while swoops down to approach the Lullaby, screeching her welcome (and probably some insult about Ronin, too).
