RONIN
"Yes, that Order. Which is why I promptly changed my mind. However much Cian would probably think that such a weapon belongs with them, it isn't really his decision here. You found the sword and you were given the information from Mort." Remi's incredulity only cements Ronin's decision, and he lets his fingers move up to smooth along the Lullaby's stubbled jawline, as if to soothe any metaphorically ruffled feathers.
The examples of appropriate candidates for deathswords are taken as seriously as the rest of the conversation, even if Ronin can't stop himself from nosing into Remi's curls. He smells like Deepfrost and woodlands and peppermint - one can hardly blame him. "If what you suspect about the sword is true," that being that it had thought about killing Remi when he first picked it up, "then that makes it a pretty powerful weapon. My main concern would be making sure it's given to someone who won't be able to forfeit it very easily."
"Aurelia is a good candidate, but I worry about someone forcefully taking it from her. Not that I have even seen her recently. Maeve is having a baby. Phoebe doesn't seem the type to wield a sword, and Amalia is a sworn pacifist." He winces. "She'd be my pick if you just wanted it kept safe."
His eyebrows raise to hear himself included in the bunch, though perhaps it shouldn't be surprising. "Sunjata has enough on his plate," he agrees. "Swords aren't my first choice, but I guess I am trained to use them. If you want to leave it with me I'll take care of it, obviously. Or I can teach you how to swordfight. Choice is yours."

soft spoken with a broken jaw
we step outside, but not to brawl
