took a fall from a windy height
We all do stupid things, to protect the ones we love. Remi comments. It doesn't make Sunjata any less of a fool, but it makes what he did more understandable, if no less idiotic.
The Lullaby watches his husband as he begins to burn, unable to help the gasp of appreciation and slow lust that builds to see the Star so exquisite in his anger. With crackling limbs and breaking boughs that sound like screams, the Wicker Woman writhes and tries to strike at the burning half-man. A few of these death throws are successful, but already the tree has caught completely on fire. The way it twists is no longer entirely under its own control.
The sap is almost secondary in Remi's mind at this point, and knowing how long it will likely take Ronin to burn himself out, the alchemist carefully scoops a bit of sap into a jar he brought for precisely this reason. Ronin's heat has made it a good deal more viscous, and of all the times they've been sent on this particular errand, this might yet go down as one of the easiest to complete.
But now he is alone, during monsoon season, with a new child and no one else. Regardless of what has passed between the three of them, and of the chaos that still muddies the waters, Remi wasn't lying when he said he would make efforts to find the softer side of himself who once so easily dictated his decisions. You should go to him. Mateo can stay here with Vai and we can go to Torchline.

i only knew how to hold on tight
& pray for love enough to last all night
& pray for love enough to last all night
