[PQ+] despite the darkness

"Um," says Ronin - because what the fuck does one say to that? And that goes for both Mildew and the Mathair. There are a lot of things that the Star doesn't know, a lot of situations that he has never had to navigate, but as vines shoot up to grasp at his husband, that really doesn't matter. "Hey," he says sharply, and a few strides take him between Remi and the approaching goddess (who seems more interested in Deimos for now - sorry Deimos). "We are here to take you back to the Greatwood, not to act as appetisers. I'll find you something to take the edge off." He isn't foolish enough to attack a goddess, no. But he's also not wise enough not to defend his husband should the situation call for it. Either way, his astral projection breaks off and trots away into the wilderness, intent on keeping his word. Ronin plants himself between the Mathair and Remi, and sends his astral projection away to hunt something for her to eat. RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
