we're always running scared but holding knives
It takes a lot for Remi to make Isla flinch these days, but at the word reckless he manages it, the doctor frowning and forcing her fingers to smooth out a non-existent wrinkle in her lab coat as he continues. There have been dozens of times where the wendigo has lost his temper, and it usually results in restraints and sedatives and the destruction of some or all of the furniture in his room.
But it's almost always been at other people. It's never been at Isla before - and it's never been with words. Feeling a lump growing in her throat and having to swallow past it to speak, the doctor tries to be careful with what she says next. "Whatever anyone else in the medical wing has been trying to use you for, I have always been looking for a cure for you," she murmurs.
"You sound as if you prefer being a wendigo to being human again," she admits. And as for not getting too close, she can only shake her head at him. "You warn people to stay back," she points out - she and Ronin in particular, in fact. "What is it you want, Remi?"
