REMI

the bastion

Darling, you never could scare me
Set me ablaze like you do

Remi’s brows lift the moment Edrei’s silhouette slinks into view, his lips quirking with the sort of disbelief reserved for curses, minor gods, and Launceleyns in leather. "I—" he begins, blinking slowly as Edy’s hips strut a rhythm that deserves its own songbook. With a sigh that carries all the resignation of a man who’s seen this particular force of nature in full swing before (and recently), Remi nudges his elbow against Ronin ’s ribs and leans in. "Do you think I could tempt you very far away from here?" he murmurs, his curls brushing the underside of his husband’s jaw. "Before Isla turns her down and she comes looking for someone else to score with?" A beat, and then a drier, more pointed: "Someone like you?"

Because of course it wouldn’t be anyone else in attendance, save for perhaps Sunjata on principle. Still, his hand finds Ronin’s wrist like he might need to physically drag the man toward safety—because with Edy on the prowl, anyone might be next.

"If she starts licking her lips and circling," Remi mutters, sipping his cider like it might fortify him, "you have my full permission to go full deer on her."

I'd walk over coals in my bare feet
If that gets me closer to you

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
