long is the day

REMI

then it went dark

In such an enormous body, Remi's predatory instincts are somehow slower as if bound by the same latent gravity that tugs at his limbs. Still, there's a menacing pulse of primal amusement that ripples through the bond as Ronin is forced to tug himself away from the kraken's suckers.

Maybe one of us should orchestrate a situation in order to call down the other. Remi thinks in return. Did he know what sort of situation they'd need in order for the magic to work? Not precisely, though given he'd tried to channel his husband to him when they were out of toilet paper or when he couldn't find a certain shirt without any success, he'd pieced together that in a time of crisis was not as subjective as he'd like it to be.

Wiggling the tentacle caught in his husband's teeth in order to try and latch onto the roof of the leviathan's mouth, Remi shakes his head. She was on another ship. The kraken replies, before being equally distracted by the sudden star field twinkling beneath them.

A large whale drifted over the crater, momentarily blocking a good portion of the light from view like some vast ambling black hole. The leap from stars, to darkness, and then to Safrin in the Lullaby's mind was not entirely unexpected given Remi's thoughts about the goddess and so it was without any preamble that he brought up his earlier conversation with Noah. I spoke with Noah the other day...apparently, Safrin gave him the task of speaking to people who had found it difficult to navigate their obligations with their personal lives. The Lullaby had no eyebrows to raise in this form, but somehow he managed it through their bond.

& it rained
and rained and rained
