Love mends even the broken parts
As Remi landed and turned into a lion, Loren eyed the alchemist warily. Apparently, they were done with the aerial portion of their hunt. Although the Launceleyn was, indeed, used to the other man’s shifts and forms—enough that the summoner didn’t even tense at the sight of the predatory cat—that didn’t mean Loren wasn't human. Unfortunately for Remi, there was something quite visceral about seeing a lion suddenly appear.
And that was before the alchemist roared.
The sound seemed to bypass the Launceleyn’s hearing and travel straight to his mind. That didn’t stop him from clapping his hands over his ears; whimpering, he stumbled backwards in the snow, trying to calm his racing heart. Unlike when he’d made his dragon roar, this wasn’t under his control, and though his ears rang, it was the fear that sprang up at him that was really dangerous. Immediately, he clawed back all his magic, even his healing. If he let it loose, he was worried he might hurt the other man.
