RONIN
the dark star
Ronin, as it turns out, is a particularly soft touch when it comes to his husband and his son, something created by his own absence in their lives. So as if on command, he scoops Mateo back into his arms and moves to sit with Remi with the baby tucked close. Flowers and vines crawl along the walls of the drab little space, appearing as if they've been painted there by Ronin's own hand, bright and cheerful and alive.
Hearing the other man out, Ronin nods without judgement, and with a pulse of only willpower, he conjures a large sheet of paper on the desk. It tilts up to face them of its own accord, and a pencil pops into existence nearby. Handy things, dreams. The chairs beneath them expand and morph into something more resembling a loveseat, so he can slip his arm around the Lullaby while they brainstorm.
"Alright, so a stronghold is like a fortress, but it doesn't necessarily have to look like that. It's a place where you can resupply, hole up if you need to. It's a place you can defend from. Halo's Citadel is a huge version of a stronghold, if you like. It's a safe place for troops to hide out, and it's difficult for an enemy to break in." As he speaks, Ronin is sketching (doodling, really) trees and greenery to represent the Greatwood. There's also a little stick-man Remi with wings and a grumpy face. So sue him.
