Oh, the Knight is baiting him now, and Remi’s delight is a living thing—bright and biting, like the air after a summer storm. Oh, I seeeee. The bond hums with amusement, even as the forest blurs past him, each stride faster than the last. Stumbling around as a man is embarrassing, but frolicking like some glorified deer isn’t?
He could shift. Gods, he wants to. The lion hums beneath his skin, all muscle and purpose and a hunger that’s got nothing to do with teeth. This forest has seen him wear that skin a hundred times—when he was angry, when he was grieving, when he was alive enough to be dangerous. But now?
Now he’s not angry. He’s laughing.
The Bastion’s pace never falters. But his grin sharpens, and the bond tightens between them like a coil ready to spring. You know better than to even ask, husband.

So saying he picks up the pace, senses shifted enough to guide him even as he navigates the Wildwood on two legs.

and I said "only ever other memory"
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
