and my heart ran away with me
Remi sees the daggers hit—one, then another from Sunjata, then Melita’s arrow whistling into place like punctuation. He doesn’t flinch, though his jaw tightens as he re-evaluates the chaos. This isn’t a solo op anymore between the Sword and Doubletake. It’s a dogpile.
Which means his half-measures aren’t going to cut it.
He doesn’t risk shouting for Deimos. Doesn’t dare step in closer. But as Flora shouts for the recall and the bindings snap off Pierce’s limbs with a sound that makes the hairs along Remi’s arms lift, the Bastion closes his eyes and breathes.
This was supposed to be stealthy, he thinks grimly—and then lets go of the idea entirely.
He turns his head toward all those nearby, and calls out clearly, voice low but cutting like a cold current. "If you’re near me, you won't be hurt. Just don’t drift too far to the sides." It's too late for Sunjata (this round, anyway), but Remi can make sure it doesn't happen again, by backing up the same distance Pierce had advanced forward.
With that, he raises his hands, one still glowing faintly with the tether to Deimos. His magic surges outward like a net of invisible thread, catching those within range and weaving a protective shell through their bodies. Not a shield—something far more personal. If Pierce’s fists land, the pain won’t spread through them, it will slam into Remi instead.
Remi backs up the same amount Pierce had come forward to stay out of his range and casts:
Magic: Spread Thin | Can soak the damage cast at all allies within 60ft. Cannot use any other actions.
Type: Light | Rank: Mastered
Regional Score bonus: +15 in all shrine visits, drops, PQ+s, KQs, etc. (You must post this at the bottom of any post where a +15 should be included). Residents cannot be cursed at shrines in this region.
