i started tying tighter knots

the lullaby

The way up and the way down are one in the same
I'm calling an audible late in the game

Whether it's the food or it's Ronin (and the question of "Does his magnetism extend to animals" can finally be answered), Remi doesn't have time to consider. Waiting until she seems suitably distracted, he reaches forward and..

..nothing happens. As we already established, Remi's magic doesn't work on animals so what the fuck were you thinking, self. "Oh." He murmurs stupidly, before thinking up something else. Quickly pulling from his mind a strip of leather, Remi cuts a slit through one end that he might loop them together and holds it up for Ronin to see. If I can slip this over her nose, we can pull it tight so she can't open her jaws. Remi thinks. If they were gentle enough, hopefully they could have her untangled. The real question is how many pastries it would take to keep her occupied, and whether or not Ronin was willing to pay such a hefty price.
