Closing his eyes as if to feel Remi's kiss all the more, the rain slowly patters to a halt, and stormclouds threaded with ribbons of gold begin to roll in. "I don't know," he says honestly, regarding Safrin and Ludo. "I would say no, only because I think even we would go mad, or be destroyed, if we tried to house the presence of a god," he admits. "In the desert when I went to fight that big bone monster, someone channelled and Safrin gave me a boost, I guess? But she didn't take me over."
Blinking his eyes open again, he frowns up at the sky. "But the Ascended are on... a kind of network, right? It's why they need the Voice to begin with." And although it's only a fraction of a second, he still draws Remi closer as talk turns to Varus. "Like you said about animals going into hibernation... maybe it's the same. Or maybe that was just because the connection to the Voice was severed when she was caught behind the barrier."
It's too many what ifs and too few certainties, and so it's almost in frustration that Ronin leans in to kiss the Lullaby, as if to feel something real (even in a dream). "I love you," he whispers. "I'd love you even if Ludo took you over. Which is saying something because it really freaks me out."
