"I know. I'm sorry," Ronin says softly, letting his thumb brush across the back of Remi's knuckles. "If Frey doesn't want to speak to us, we'll try for Ludo. Ludo helped to bring Mateo to us, so trickery or not, it ought to be interested in holding up a bargain to make a ship fly," he reasons with a roll of his eyes.
With okays settled and decided, Ronin inhales and lets it out again, before starting to shift and sit up, though he has no intention of moving Remi out of his lap. "Agreed," he says, reaching with his free hand into his pocket to draw out his own compass. "You head to Halo first with Mateo. Then bring my compass back here to me, and we'll both go to join him?" he suggests. Two compasses and three people means a certain amount of relay will have to take place.
"Remi," he adds quickly, before they go any further and rush into action, leaning in for a chaste kiss that somehow still seems desperately sad. "We really messed up, but we're going to fix this. And I'm glad we caught it before it was all too late."
