[PQ+] everything you want's a dream away

REMI

the lullaby

Every now and then the things
I lean on lose their meaning

Whether or not this was a good idea was the farther thing from Remi's mind. It was an idea, and once the alchemist's mind had latched onto it, there was simply no letting go. Besides, the last trek into the jungle had been ended far too quickly and for no good reasons (in Remi's humble opinion). So it was that this time he was fairly sure, madness or no, that neither he, Ronin, nor Amalia would call an unnecessary halt.

Dressed more or less appropriately (probably closer to 'less', but he hadn't remained in a body that needed clothes for very long last time), the only real supplies the alchemist had thought to bring was water from Frey's Breath and a goodish amount of rope.

Taking a deep breath of air thick with rich jungle-scents and potential, Remi slides a hand around his husband's waist, pressing his nose against the skin just below the huntsman's ear. "I need this." He whispers softly before pressing his lips against the stark curve of his husband's jaw. This was of course his way both of saying I need you as much as it was a thank you for humouring me.

PQ+ to explore more of the jungle for Remi, Ronin, and Amalia!

And I find myself careening in places
where I should not let me go

I will fight the end

”I know.” Ronin smiles softly, closing his eyes and leaning into his husband. He nuzzles against Remi’s temple, eyes opening again to peer off into the jungle. Ronin has still come prepared, but it’s with stuff that he would normally have anyway; his fingers are adorned with rings and Emmett’s axe sits pretty in a belt loop. Humming out a note of quiet contentment, he lets go of the Lullaby so he can stretch out and beckon for him to lead the way.

”Let’s have an adventure, then,” he says with a wink, patting Remi on the butt for good measure before looking around for Amalia. ”Are we hoping to get all the way to the other side of the jungle? Or just past the molten lion this time?”

'til the end is here

Amalia

the shield of safrin

"The other side," Amalia declares from her place behind the men, smiling at Ronin as he turns around toward her. "Without killing anything, please, Remi." This is added in a somewhat sharper tone; she's made it abundantly clear that she will do all she can to prevent loss of life on this venture, no matter whose, but she also knows perfectly well that in a showdown with Remi, the Lullaby would win.

She's probably overprepared compared to the men, but that's to be expected. Amalia carries a bag across her back, loaded with sundry supplies and her horn of plenty. At her side Nova hangs, and her shield is strapped to her arm. "Remind me what happened last time? You said there was a tiger of fire? It sounds beautiful."

she is calm in the storm
and anxious in the quiet
