there will be scrapes and sutures; viciousness and victory
"Flora gave you snacks to eat?" Ronin barks, clearly outraged by this news - and the fact that he either hadn't been treated to the same or, more likely, he'd eaten his own en route. Regardless, he gets himself steady once again as his husband crouches down to share food with their fluffy little interloper - a distraction that has the Knight grinning like a fool and almost missing it as Remi tosses the axe away again.
"Hey, my quest isn't stupid," he protests, whipping around to try and similarly track the blade through the mist and the trees, though he already knows from experience that the axe tended to cut through obstacles, depending on the force used to throw it, before making its glorious return. "And if Vi wants me in multiple pieces, then so be it. Just more of you to love, right?" Grinning but not daring to look behind him, this time Ronin is ready at least.
As the axe whips back, lower to the ground than before, he manages to leap deftly over it, feeling very pleased with himself and tugging up the collar of his coat. "This definitely keeps you warm, at least."
