it's a long way home

Ronin arched an eyebrow at Remi that he wouldn't see either, the hunter begging to ask why it was so important, that Ianto hadn't sought them out. (Sought Remi out, rather). But he kept his thoughts to himself, distracted besides by the alchemist mentioning how high up they were. Ronin glanced over a wing, a smile spreading across his face at the tiny winking lights of home so far below. "It's really something up here, huh," he said. "I wonder if we could fly all the way over the Greatwood like this, to see what's beyo--" Before he could finish - before he could breathe, let alone speak, Remi had 'tagged' their new cloud friend and was careening away through the air, leaving his husband very little time to find something to hold onto. In fact he didn't quite manage it, as the manticore pulled into a dive, Ronin trying and failing to grasp onto... well... anything. "Remi--!" he managed to snatch out before he was pulled from the manticore's back entirely. The updraft meant he travelled skyward at first, the sky blanket of blue overhead... But then, not for the first time, he plummeted towards the ground. There was something comfortingly familiar about it, about the world growing ever closer, though Ronin was starkly aware that when he hit land this time, he wouldn't be walking off. So when of all things, their cloud buddy shot out to catch him about ten feet from the ground, no one was more surprised than Ronin. ronypony it's always nice to make an impression
