Starfall

Calloused hands wiped at her cheeks, Ronin smiling crookedly down at her even as she wept, tucking a lock of dark hair out of her face. He sniffed and let his own tears fall freely, tilting his head up to look at the remaining star in the sky and feeling his heartstrings tug as he spotted his Vanya. But there was something else too, something that wasn't there before, and it bloomed hot in his chest and he felt her presence, like the core of that star was still bound to him. "I do like to make an entrance," he remarked. "But I... I have missed so much. I saw the Spire, the barrier... it... fuck, you guys did it." He was smiling ear to ear, resting his forehead against Ashe's and snorting to himself as she realised he was naked. No you're naked," he retorted childishly, hugging her close and giving her a squeeze. "Thank you," he whispered to her. "For what you did. For not giving up. And for giving up everything, at the same time." Clearing his throat to try to pull himself together (besides it was cold and his bare ass was sitting on rocks), he accepted her cloak and pulled it around his shoulders. "You're such a midget, this will never cover my incredible physique," he tutted. "Now won't you be a dear and help haul my ass up?" ronypony it's always nice to make an impression
