wonder what's next

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving "I beg to differ, having lived in the Greatwood. The forest interferes in every little which way it can, but only when you're inside the forest," Ronin says, his tone light and amused. "Which, of course, is understandable." He knows what the other man really means, of course, letting his fingers thread more deeply through Remi's hair, savouring the moment of simplicity for what it is. His eyes have slipped closed as they speak, but they blink back open as he feels the hot pulse of annoyance-that-isn't through the Attuned bond. Already Ronin is half sitting up, worried that has misstepped, but his shoulders relax somewhat as he hears Remi out. "Oh gods, yes," he agrees readily, his smile soft and almost relieved. "Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I was muddying the waters. Maybe we can keep the apartment and the houseboat for us, and our respective offices for leadership." Pausing for a moment, Ronin glances away almost guiltily. "There is something I'd like to give you, though. Not from a leadership standpoint, but you could use it that way, I suppose." He wriggles a bit beneath the blankets before producing a Capitol Compass, offering it out to Remi. "I never want you to feel like you can't get to me, if you need to. And vice versa."
