Remi

Welcome to the war, we've only begun

Remi has to bite at his tongue as Isla reaches - and then grabs - at his hand. The silver collar around his neck means he's mostly safe to be around, especially given that the only fresh blood in the room is his, but gods if it isn't a shock to his senses just the same. Her hand is warm and small but her words feel sharp and excruciating for their kindness. Feeling overstimulated and yet yearning for more, Isla has straightened and moved away from the wendigo before he can formulate a proper answer, leaving Remi nodding stiffly in the doctor's wake.

Looking down into his hand, only once the door is closed does Remi softly trace the place Isla's fingers had just been, before reaching down to grip the bedframe with both hands and squeezing hard enough to have the metal bars groaning.

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

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
