[PQ] bring him home

Words and gestures and silence; they worked however they worked, and Ronin helped coordinate as best he could without getting too much in the way. Once Emmett was upon the stretcher he covered him over with the sheet Remi had made - they were lucky that they had made it before the ROUS, and even then he wasn't so sure. Still, they were here to bear him home, and so that was what they would do. He walked behind the group, keeping watch for anything that might sneak up on their exposed backs, Emmett's axe in hand. Well, not Emmett's. Not any more. Ronin's hand tightened around the handle of the weapon; he vowed to use it in the boy's stead. Soon they emerged from the Underground, their fallen comrade with them at last. Such a simple mark, a simple task... and it had all gone so remarkably wrong. The light fell upon them, and life continued onwards. For them, at least. Not for Emmett. Thanks for participating, folks. <3 Everyone gets PQ credit, and Emmett can now be buried/burnt/whatever Lam would like. RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
