There would have been a boyish flush to the wendigo's cheeks if he was capable of it, alas, just now he could only return Isla's smile with as much warmth as he could muster. "Oh, I see, so it is your fault I look like this." He teases, audibly chuckling so that she might know he didn't hold it against her.

"And it isn't like in the movies, please don't dramatically slice your palm. If you have a scab, or even just a pinprick would do."

Raising his eyes, Remi hazards a glance toward the door. "I'll stay here, and you go by the door. I'm fast, but you'd have time to set off an alarm if..." He didn't need to finish that sentence of course, and so he merely feathers his jaw as if restraint on his part now might somehow transfer to later.

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