oh but that's the irony: broken people are not fragile
The bare-skinned touch has Remi's mind suddenly alight as if Ronin's dazzle has permeated through into his thoughts. Gulping as quietly as he could before exhaling a shaky breath, his fingers tighten around Ronin's as he settles into the churning waters of his husband's emotions.
Snorting with as much amusement as he could manage, Remi shakes his head. "Feeble." He mocks with a slow roll of his eyes. Ronin was anything but. Not having a good sense of what had happened on the shore once he'd been freed to go after the monster, Remi raises his eyebrows. "The ascended..they were attacking you?" He reasons slowly, before falling silent to peer earnestly up into Ronin's eyes.
'I don't think you could have either.' He agrees softly, sensing his husband's dismay and knowing there was no arguing with it. "It didn't even feel like it was just my instincts that had taken over...it was...more like...everything I was and cared about, was reduced to killing the dinosaur. And once it was gone and the feelings were still there...I'd have killed Neron and anyone else without even thinking about it." Like pouring oil into water Remi is aware of how his thoughts and feelings are not the same as his husband's. "I would have thought the few weeks, or months I would have been gone for..." Trailing off, his voice becoming tight as his stomach shivers with a cough that shakes his lungs. "..you and Mateo..the twins and the Greatwood..I would have thought it was worth it."
Feeling suddenly very cold in a way that had nothing to do with Halo, the alchemist turns an alarmed pale stare towards Ronin. "Have...I lost it, again?" It being the plot. Himself. His way.

The Lullaby
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
