forward can’t be stopped

please just don't forget me Merman? Ronin turned as he surfaced in the waves, just in time to find a) Sunjata splashing the fin of an orca back at Remi on the shore and b) a raccoon flying at his face. His eyebrows shot up and he managed to swear loudly before the fluffy bundle of his husband ended up perched so adorably on his shoulders and head, Ronin wickedly grinning up at Remi. "Yeah, he managed to give me yet another ring. Marrying me wasn't enough apparently." He wiggled his fingers at Sunjata as if to demonstrate the new addition. "Right. Off you pop - I've got drowning to do, apparently!" Still grinning, the hunter would simply sink beneath the surface, and oh boy but the urge to hold his breath was enormous. Still, the jewel around his throat was wonderfully warm and, blinking his eyes open, he decided to take the plunge. And take a breath. At first he floundered, unsure what to make of the strange pressure against his chest of the water all around. But he wasn't drowning. And that was excellent. Unfortunately the mouth to mouth will have to be entirely voluntary, he thought smugly to Remi.
