blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures
He flies.
It's only for a second, but he does. The world tips up and there's just a blanket of stars and a hanging moon against the sweet, cold black. It really is beautiful, he muses, and perhaps he has been unfair to Safrin about her gift. And if he plays with these strings of hers, maybe he can recreate this moment in music. But he's going to die, and it's too late. A sorrow and a victory all rolled into one.
And this is what he meant, Finn thinks as he's thrown into the ink of night. This is what Remi meant--
A hand yanks at the back of his neck hard enough to cut off the air, and Finn chokes unceremonniously as a second hand snakes around him, hauling him back into the here and now. So startled is he at first, he doesn't fling himself away from Ronin so much as gently peel him off. Panting heavily, rubbing at his throat, he blinks at the other man and feels...
Cheated.
He feels cheated.
"I'm fine," he manages, a bit hoarsely. "I... thank you. I believe you just saved my life."
