you are terrifying and strange and beautiful
"Oh, shoo with you!" Ronin is snarking affectionately to Sugar as she trills her amusement, cools the back of his neck with a quick blast of cold air, and takes to the higher boughs once more. As he'd rather suspected, his companion is not at all feeling compliant in the keep an eye on Remi but especially to make sure he isn't cheating game, and much prefers to hang out with the Bastion when he's It. Which, you know, Ronin can't fault her for her impeccable taste, but it's certainly annoying.

What's also annoying is the fact that he's certain he's seen this tree before. And the one after it. And those footprints - are they his tracks in the dirt, or do they belong to his husband? "If you have told the trees to fuck with me," the Knight announces, as if it isn't utterly true and not technically against the rules, "I am going to insist that we start again."

Grinning as he peers around a large oak, Ronin is distracted, albeit momentarily, by a will-o-wisp floating by his head before swirling mischievously off again. "With my luck, that was you," he comments to Remi no one in particular. "You've learned to become a wisp and never told me. Typical."

A lot's been changin' lately and I can't tell
If it's me or if it's everybody else
Come back and say that to my face, the words drift lazily along the Attuned bond (which he could be using even if he wasn't shifted), all syrup and smugness, tinged with the unmistakable glint of mischief that only Remi can inject so effortlessly.

The whisper comes from nowhere and everywhere—like it belongs to the trees, or the shadows, or perhaps just under the branch Ronin very nearly passed by. The one with a suspiciously leafy knot in the crook. The one where a pair of glittering eyes now watch with calculated stillness.

Remi—currently a raccoon with a criminal's sense of timing and a boyish gleam of anticipation—readies himself. He’s crouched just above the spot where Ronin stood a breath ago, hoping his husband’s pride is just curious enough to double back to sass the wisp harmlessly floating on the breeze.

So stop and sm?ll the fuckin' roses

Would that I could find you and catch you to say anything to your face! Ronin fires back, his words silent but his laughter audible, and though the Knight has long stopped running once he realised he hadn't seen hide nor hair of Remi in some time, his ears and other senses are still keen for any sign of him. And he must be close-ish, if they can speak to each other through the bond.

The penny (or the bait, rather) finally drops, though, and Ronin pivots slowly around with narrowed blue eyes and a mixture of disbelief and affectionate annoyance rolling through the link between them. "Shut up, no you aren't," he says to the empty air, prowling back the way he's just come to, yes, sass a harmless will-o-wisp. "And if you are, that's fucking cheating," he announces.

Like the blundering guard outside a low-level dungeon, Ronin walks right into the trap that Remi has set for him, and he swipes playfully at the wisp that dances around the trunk of a certain tree, housing a certain masked fiend.

The rustle overhead is too sudden to be anything but theatrical, and as the bough above him shivers, something furry, masked, and full of menace comes hurtling down like a particularly smug meteor. With a triumphant squeak of glee, Remi lands squarely on his husband's head, his tiny raccoon paws slapping decisively over Ronin’s eyes.

Of course I’m not a will-o-wisp, he huffs, as if the very notion is beneath him, voice practically dripping disdain. His grip tightens, his weight shifting gleefully atop the Knight’s back like he’s claiming a particularly scenic perch.

His striped tail wraps around Ronin’s neck and over one shoulder like a chaotic scarf. One paw remains across Ronin’s eyes while the other pokes his cheek in gentle mockery. Sir It, he intones gravely, I fear your reign has ended. You are no match for me. Long live the bandit king! Remi thinks cheerfully, before trying to lunge from Ronin's shoulder to scramble back up the tree.

Having been - yes - about to launch his own attack on a wisp (and that's guaranteed to end well for someone with Ronin's track record), the Knight is a prime target for racoonery and shenanigans. Indeed, the Knight is so invested in his not-husband that when the real thing comes hurtling down from the branches, it's with a very manly thank you yelp into the trees that Ronin receives him. "Wh-- REMI," he announces, blind and staggering to the side as a furry weight risks giving him whiplash, and clever fingers prod at his face.

"The bandit king is a filthy cheater-- and I have been betrayed by my own dragon," Ronin realises with a gasp of outrage. In response, Sugar of course chitters gleefully overhead, as if trying to give Remi pointers where he can clamber up among the branches and then leap to another tree to escape. 

Scrambling as the racoon attempts to escape the convenient perch of his head, Ronin swipes nothing but empty air and, honour bound as he is by his own rules, he decides to pursue the furry criminal using his own hands and feet. "When I do catch you," he calls, laughing, "you are in so much trouble."
