but baby i've been here before; i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
It was not the first time Ronin had vanished from their kitchen, but that did not mean Remi liked it, nor that his gaze did not stay fixed on the empty place his husband had occupied a moment before. Still, there was a practiced shape to the worry now; his breath held, his chair pushed back so that he could tend to their bacon so it didn't burn. When Ronin returned, there is only a moment in which the Bastion could offer his husband a crooked smile, before the same pull caught him.
Heat struck first. Then light. Then sand beneath his feet, shifting badly enough that Remi had to catch his balance as he arrived beside Liam, breathless and already looking around: Broken wagons, dead pack animals, torn canvas, Colt and Kaisel farther ahead, and a creature beyond them, large and wrong, its hide cracked and ridged and its many eyes set in too many places.
His gaze swept over the living in one sharp pass. No one on the ground. No wound demanding his magic before anything else. The monster was still some thirty feet off, but distance seemed a poor thing to trust when the desert itself rippled around it, so Remi did not waste time trying to trust it.
The shift took him as he moved, his body folding into the Rarog’s shape before the sand had finished settling around his boots. Claws tore into the ground as he surged forward, driving himself straight at the Dreamhollow with all the force six seconds could hold. There was no room for warning, no room for strategy beyond putting himself closer to the creature than Liam was, than Colt and Kaisel were, than anyone breakable should have to be.
He lunged, claws outstretched, jaws open, snapping for the thing’s neck, aiming to bite down through cracked hide and root-spurred flesh before the channel could wrench him away again.
Remi attacks as a Pixiu, using his 30ft of movement to get near the creature and biting/slashing at its throat.
