the baffled king composing hallelujah
Ronin is just settling into the bliss of teasing his fingers through Remi's hair and enjoying the warmth and weight of him when he moves, the Huntsman blinking up at him. His smile is contagious and he leans up to steal it from Remi's lips, closing his eyes as if to seal away the expression forever. It is a rough and ragged thing that he offers, but he does it with all the earnestness he possesses. And indeed, the idea of a little chain of houseboats is enough to draw a laugh out of him.
"I'd like that. But we're the parents, so ours stays at the front," he says; a ridiculous caveat to an already ridiculous situation. As they delve back into the Isla of it all, he shifts as if to burrow further into the blankets with Remi, pressing soft kisses across his cheeks and his forehead as if this will make the conversation easier for him to have.
"You talked? That's more than good. I'm really happy for you," he says, and he means it. His fingers flinch just a bit against Remi's ribs to hear him speak about Safrin, though - she feels almost like a dirty word when the Lullaby brings her up, normally. But this is different, and Ronin leans in for a real kiss.
"It sucks, doesn't it?" His agreement comes out mumbled against Remi's lips. "Just when you think you've got a handle on it, the world shows you another way you can be irrational about it."
