Ronin Taliesin

they say it's all been done

"Hey, now," Ronin soothed his daughter, smiling to her and attempting a little more cheer, though he felt anything but. "It's important to keep you safe, that's all." Little good the explanation would do for a child, though he seemed relieved as the necklace was placed over Aoife's head. For all Arduinna seemed and seemed not to be, he wanted to hope that she wouldn't have been so cruel as to give Remi a dud this time.

"Not as sorry as I am. I'm sorry it's affecting you," he mumbled in response to his husband, following him with his eyes as he rose to his feet. "It's getting worse." If the inky smudges of blood on his hand weren't testament enough to that.
