Noah's walking through Petros Park on his way back to Hywel, taking his time to enjoy the cool weather, when he hears a familiar caw. There aren't exactly many ravens in Darrow, and so Chainsaw's sounds always stand out. Noah squints up at the sky, bringing a hand up to shield his eyes from the sun, and smiles when he sees her.

"Hi!" he calls to Chainsaw, but she only circles above his head, squawking Ronan's name. Frowning a little, Noah looks for him instead, finally noticing his friend coming up the path ahead of him.

"Hey," he says with an uncertain smile, shoving his hands into his pockets, slouching a little. "What's up with her?"

Ronan feels the burn before he knows what's happening, sharp and bright-hot, and he lets out a strangled groan as he yanks his hand back. Noah's suddenly between them then, his back to Ronan and... fuck, huge. Expanding. Close as he is, Ronan can see his skin thinning and bones stretching, can see the decaying corpse beneath the beautiful boy and he stumbles back further.

Noah's voice is ice, entirely directed at the other Ronan, the other him. Above them, both Chainsaws screech wildly, one of them diving straight for Noah before the other swoops in to block her, both birds tumbling away in a mess of beating feathers.

"Noah," Ronan shouts, cradling his burnt hand against his chest. Noah's a ghost and virtually indestructible, but Ronan has no idea what this other fucker is capable of and he's not about to let Noah get in the middle of it.
