and my heart ran away with me
"And how do you think that makes them feel? Not Hotaru, but a pair of kids who see Safrin's demigod and the Dragon of the Greatwood, gritting his teeth and walking the other way anytime they're around?" Remi asks, trying not to meet Ronin's defensive retorts with the rising paternal anger he feels brewing in his belly.
Scrunching his nose and staring into the sun until white blurred his vision, Remi cages the snappy quips that burn on his tongue. "I know this situation isn't fair." The Lullaby says on an exhale, trying to steady his voice as much as possible. "And you are welcome to the way you feel. We agreed you wouldn't have to play father to them, just as I didn't have to with Seren. But—" Lowering his eyes and still seeing spots as he looked at Ronin, which honestly, probably helped, he continues: "They are entitled to their feelings as well. You don't like her. Or Enzo. Or Hotaru. You can't be upset that they've picked up on it." Having to pull away any skin contact they might share lest the worst of what Remi isn't saying be pulse through to Ronin without his permission, he sighs heavily.
"That's no different than me going to see them where they are. It's worse. Then it isn't even me choosing to see them, so much as visiting because I have nothing else to do." Which, to be fair, was when Remi went to see them most often. But they didn't need to make it official. 'They do love me.' Remi agrees, and though Ronin likely won't want to hear it, they'd promised each other truth. "And I love them."
