RONIN
Ronin bolted.
It was an entirely animal thing, the stag bounding quickly away across the sand, traitorously visible due to the light on his antlers. He felt the ravenous thunder of Remi's heart, his own fluttering and panicked in return, and the mental words from his husband were barely audible.
Barely - but they did make it through.
Thinking of his body, his hands, feet and all the rest of it didn't really happen until he was halfway down the beach. But when he did manage to focus - and indeed change - it happened far too quickly for his liking. Luxere could pick up quite the speed, it turned out, and as a man's feet hit the sand on two legs, he was entirely unprepared.
Tripping and staggering and gasping for breath, Ronin took a tumble on the shoreline and was completely graceless as he rolled to his knees. Lungs burning and with residual fear clouding his judgement, he tried to get his feet back under him, to put yet more distance between them.
