the lullaby
I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out
You were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out
Remi doesn’t burst into the meadow like something reckless and mythic, though the temptation is there—golden light, panting prey, all of it far too poetic to resist. Instead, he circles.
The pixiu shape pours out of him just beyond the tree line, rippling from muscle to fur like the Greatwood itself is helping him shrug into something old and powerful. Something Ronin has always known by the weight of its paws and the silence of its hunt. There’s no sound save the hush of grass parting, the low hum of his presence seeping through the bond like sunlight warming the back of a neck.
Thirsty? The voice is low and amused, curling lazily into Ronin’s thoughts. Hope you’re hydrated enough to run again.
And then he moves. Not like a creature chasing something to kill, but like a man after his husband—sure-footed and silent, eyes fixed with a predator’s focus, and all the warmth and devotion of a heartbeat shared across a bond neither of them have ever managed to untangle.

I lay beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
And the two of us went up in smoke
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
