Sam wanted nothing more than to find quiet peace in his work and hide away in his home with Nate, make books and carve out a more domestic life than he had found in the last while. But it seemed that was not to be, as The Voice would not restore his fingers in one action. While it was fair (he had, after all, made a huge mistake) he dreaded having to gather the items he needed, sure that it would end in further injuries or misery. Samuel
He took a step but then felt tired

For Sam, Remi would do nearly anything. If that meant flying into a canyon to steal something from the lair of a deadly creature, so be it. They'd faced worse during LongNight. At least now they could see what was coming at them. "Hey Sam." Shifting from hawk to man effortlessly at the bookmaker's side, Remi peered over the bone bridge with a grin. "I would ask if you remembered the last time we were here together, but I know neither of us do." Still, something about it made him chuckle, things coming full circle and all that. until the lambs become lions.

He was, however, fairly silent in his steps as he made his way through the ruins and to the edge of the bridge, stopping to bow his head and offer a prayer at the stone lantern he had built at one side of it. He lit a candle within it, long face solemn and edged with new lines as he watched its flickering light for a long few moments before he continued on. Isuma chirruped from his shoulder, rubbing her head against his cheek supportively as he joined Sam and Remi at the edge of the bridge. "Hey," he said quietly by way of greeting as he neared the bookmaker and alchemist, trying not to startle them, though he sent a faint pulse of welcome to Remi to let him know that the bard was approaching. "Are we ready?" He seemed more subdued, quicker to look to the ground, and his hand tightened around his own bag. A sturdy rope was wrapped slung over his shoulders, and he carried a small pack with knives, flint and tinder, carrots, and a water skin, along with the usual odds and ends in his pockets.

"How about no more forgetting in general?" Remi said, nudging his friend with a bright smile, before turning to regard Jigano. If Remi noticed anything off about the bard, he gave no notice. Instead he merely nodded his head and pulsed back the same warble of silent greeting. "I...remember a long time ago, a man called Alistair and Rexanna jumped off this bridge. I think they might have seen it in the mists, but I have not heard anything since then." Indeed, Remi hadn't even thought of Ashe's ex-husband since that day. "Hopefully this will be as uneventful." Trying not to flush as Sam mentioned biting him, he merely shook his head. "I am happy for you to ride." Happier still not to be bit, as it was. Stepping back to give himself more room, the alchemist shifted easily into his largest of forms, dropping to a knee to better allow the bookmaker to mount. Waiting for Jigano to shift as well, the manticore moved in a fluid motion off the side of the canyon. Free falling for just a moment before his large wings unfurled, he and Sam glided in smooth lazy circles as Remi did his best not to disturb the mist too much. until the lambs become lions.

"I've read a little about it, but never encountered it either," the bard admitted quietly. "Though we might not need to seek out the Kappa if we find some bones below the bridge from those who have... fallen... before." Jumped or been pushed as likely as fallen accidentally, although accidents did happen as Remi and Sam were living examples of... even if neither of them remembered it. Sam had told Jigano the bare bones of that tale long ago, however, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward now to be here with the two men where their whirlwind romance had begun. He nodded emphatically to Remi's hope that it was an uneventful evening, and shrugged out of the rope to hand it to Sam along with his bag when the bookmaker was aboard the broad-shouldered manticore. "Here, I don't know if we'll need it, but a rope is never a bad idea." Hopefully they wouldn't need it? But if they did, they'd be ready. Given that Jigano's shift was significantly smaller, he divested himself of as much as he could before shifting to his raven form. His talons closed around his white lantern as it started to fall, catching it deftly before he flapped in Remi's wake, Isuma spiraling down above them like the three tiers of a fancy cake, descending in size from bottom to top.

By then though, Sam had already shouted out. Flinching back against the wall of the canyon, Remi sent a pulse of distress towards Jigano as he stared wide-eyed at Sam. "Sam." He hissed, trying to motion his friend away from the mouth of the cave. "I have encountered creatures like this..if anything you need to be an attuned to speak with them, though I have no had luck in the past." On his finger, Remi's rising heartbeat likely felt like a stampede on Ronin's hand, wherever his husband was. "Why not simply...turn invisible and take what you need?" Much as the alchemist couldn't and would never fault anyone else for thoughtless plans—gods knew Remi had more than a few of those himself—so soon after what had happened during LongNight, Remi couldn't help but feel Sam was throwing them needlessly into danger once again. until the lambs become lions.

Jigano had barely glided down to join his friends when Sam asked his question - his rhetorical question, it turned out, as he waited for no answer before immediately inviting the Kappa to come deal with the intruders who had come unasked to its domain. The raven flapped in startlment, retreating to Remi's shoulder if the alchemist would let him as he bounced his own shock and dismay back along the Attuned bond. Had Sam learned nothing from LongNight? "Yes," he croaked softly instead in support of Remi's suggestion, looking uneasily towards the mouth of the cave as Isuma glided above them on silent owl's wings, her pale coloration naturally hiding her in the mist. "Quiet?" Less a command than a request, the bard still too shaken from his encounter with Safrin to give orders as his usual confident self might have. There is very little written of the Kappa, he said to Remi, uneasiness in his mental tone. Not what it eats or where it lives, aside from in the gorge. Not even whether it's intelligent or just a great beast. It's supposedly a peaceful creature though... unless it's startled. Hopefully Sam's yell hadn't done just that.

No strange to bird talons by any stretch, Remi's (now) broad shoulders were happily if not silently offered as perch. I came here once with a young woman who said she could sense something in the mists. Some strange magic. Mim had been a strange one and it was hard to know whether her sensings had been genuine or accurate. Still, more information was better the alchemist thought, though he pulsed along a feeling of skepticism with his words just the same. Offering the bookmaker an uneasy smile, Remi nodded. "I think...perhaps that creatures like this do not accept introductions the way we do. Animals do not normally announce their presence in the way humans do." Sam of course might not know this, or at least , wouldn't think of it as innately as his fellow attuned's might. Nodding his agreement, the alchemist walked near the wall. He continually checked the ground so as not to step on an errant twig or bits of rock that might otherwise give away his presence. Though as a predator he knew that sound was not the only tool that could give identify him. Luckily as an ascended, Sam didn't give off much of an odor. Let me know if you see anything I miss. He silently whispered to Jigano. until the lambs become lions.

Sam meant well, Jigano knew that, but he hoped the shout wouldn't come back to haunt them later. Still, the bookmaker was doing his best and the bard was along to support his friend in his task in the hopes of making the man whole again. I wouldn't be surprised. This place is certainly eerie enough to have secrets, he replied to Remi's information, looking around uneasily and fluffing his feathers from his perch on the alchemist's shoulder. It was warning enough, however, that he sent a pulse of suggestion to Isuma, urging her to find an outcropping of rock a little ways up the gorge wall and stay still in her natural camouflage there until they returned. Remi's advice to Sam was sound, and the recently-humbled bard stayed small and silent in his animal shape, keeping an eye out to help guide the other man's steps, though Remi was sure-footed and quiet enough to need little help. It's gloomy enough in here, he said to his fellow Attuned, glad of the lantern's pale glow. Though if we're supposed to find bones in the Kappa's lair, that probably means it eats meat-- Did you hear that? A sound like a boulder - or a giant shell - scraping along. And far closer than was comforting.
