Remi

Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains
Welcome to the war, we've only begun

Ronin's congenial tone feels like a slap in the face given everything that has happened that night, and though Remi has kept a lid on his anger thus far, now it threatens to bubble over. Part of him wants to reach out and deck the other man in the jaw, and part thinks it might be just as well to disappear into the lacklustre darkness and see how good at hide-and-seek the hunters really are. Instead, he bites his tongue, eyeing his partner warily and tries to rationalize what's merely left-over violence in his system and what's genuine emotion.

"But.." Remi begins, his fingertips flexing out from his palms slightly as the last of the sedation wears off. "You can't honestly want to share a room with me after that." No, Ronin didn't know what it was like for Remi, but surely he knew just how close he'd come to losing his own throat given how very close Remi had been to him. "You could bite your tongue while you're sleeping, or scratch at a scab..." He continues, his pace slowing even more as if there was some forcefield keeping him from getting too close to the apartments.

Higher and higher you chase it
It's deep in your blood, go and take it
