we shall heal our wounds, collect our dead
Regrettably, the ram is short-lived, and as it charges at Remi’s ghostly lion in a light show that is truly impressive, it disperses in a swathe of celestial flames. Dropped back into darkness but for his inner-starlight, Ronin just about sees Remi coming. He rises to his feet on his nimbus, and around him in a halo, starbolts appear. None of them stand a chance of actually hitting his husband, but they’ll do as a distraction, and Ronin flings them all at the same time as he tumbles backwards from his nimbus.
The cloud races to catch him, of course - hopefully out of the range of Remi’s kicking, because Ronin has no idea what’ll happen either - and he cackles up at his counterpart. ”I thought I was supposed to be catching you,” he says, his tongue running across his teeth as he gazes up at his husband, winged and almost entirely naked. They have both grown stronger, in their own way, but Remi will forever make Ronin’s knees weak.
