everything has its wonders
From agreements to go back to the Climb for more water; from seeing Sunjata healed and Nate and Sam ail further; from watching Remi rush to the Ascended’s side, Ronin stands as a quiet sentinel. He knows better than to crowd those with a fever, knows better than to focus too much on one when there’s a whole group to think about. He also knows better than to let his temper get hold of him.
And yet, as Sam lurches atop Remi, teeth sinking into his neck, the Star sees red. Sam was the last person to bite Remi, and the two already had history. Call it stress, but his usually docile nature has worn thin with this trip to the Climb and back, and he’s surging forward without thought of the consequences.
Seizing the Ascended by the scruff of the neck, there’s a good chance that he might end up injuring Remi further if Sam clamps his jaws around the alchemist more tightly. Ronin’s not thinking about that, though, and if he’s able to he’ll toss the Ascended away from his husband, jaw feathering and fists clenched. ”Keep your fucking teeth to yourself,” he growls, three pinpoints of starlight hovering around him, poised to launch at Sam.
