"I've got you," Ronin is saying as he meanders down the beach, still soaking wet and feeling as though his limbs weigh three times as much thanks to the efforts of being in such deep water for so long. Still, his arms can scream their protests all afternoon for all he cares; he has still scooped Remi up into a bridal carry, pressing a gentle, salty kiss to his husband's temple as he walks.
"I'll take you to the fountain at the Court of the Stars - it will patch you up better than I can. Just hold on a bit longer, okay?" His smile is soft and sad; any bravado in the face of the colossal monster they've just faced is gone, and all that's left is the two Taliesins and the stretch of beach leading into Haulani.
"Once you feel better, we can get cocktails at the Hanged Man."
