"If it isn't one thing with them, it's another." Remi complains with a sigh, as if it only added insult to injury that Pierce hadn't at least waited for Ronin to finish the chore he'd come up here to do before beating and robbing him. Trying to feel through the bond where specifically the Knight had been injured, Remi shifted his weight slightly into order to lessen the pressure to one side of his husband's body even though his arms remained tightly around him.

"First of all, I take that as a personal attack because I flirt with you all the time." Remi points out with a defensive huff. To be fair his version of flirting these days was pouncing on the Knight when he was still sleeping and blowing up into his nose, or giving him the pancake which hadn't fallen on the floor, but after nearly 10 years of marriage, it was the little things, okay?

"We should just bring Melita with us one of these times. If we fly her over and I keep her safe, I don't see why she can't just throw everything her wild magic has at the island before we run back to Torchline." Again, only half-kidding.

If they're still out there then the chasm grows
For all you know, for all you've known

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
