Remi

Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains
Welcome to the war, we've only begun

Remi watches as Isla douses the majority of the candles, noting which are left and why, though he doesn't comment. "Mmmm." The wendigo replies, shifting on his bed and marking Isla's movements carefully.

Normally the mention of fairy lights would absolutely have gotten a rise out of him, but today the only rising Isla will receive is from the wendigo moving off of his bed. "Pick up a candle." He murmurs, eyeing one of the ones remaining by the door. "And come here." There's no please, but Remi's voice softens significantly as he makes his request.

Moving to a very specific part of the room, his body angled just so, one might suspect the wendigo of having discovered a relative blindspot. He could always be seen of course, but if Isla stood before him, candle in hand to keep her safe and keep anyone watching at relative ease, her head would block the movements of his mouth.

If she trusted him enough to come, of course.

Higher and higher you chase it
It's deep in your blood, go and take it
