the lullaby
"And if the ascended manage to find a way to get them?" Remi wonders, his voice coming out more like a whine than he means for it to, even as his eyes search Ronin's for some amount of hope.
Stilling clutching Ronin's collar so hard that the feeling had gone out of his fingers, Remi blinks at the lack of sensation and relaxes his grip. "Before, when I said I snuck into the Grounds, it was using your duplicate. The Voice took Isla over and...scanned me, I suppose, before leaving. Maybe Isla had time to tell her to stop, or maybe it was just a display." Only then does what Ronin said really sink into his mind, and it's with a look of annoyed confusion that he straightens slightly. "Wessex said what?" He asks, frowning. "Well if not killing someone deserves a thank-you, I would say Wessex owes us about a thousand." Good as the petty words felt, the satisfaction was short lived such that Remi just sighed dismally in their wake.
'I am so sorry, Ronin. I...I truly did not think I was putting myself in danger. All the times I have bumped into Isla...in the Wilds, or at festivals...I only used your duplicate in the Grounds because I was not supposed to be there, and..' The words rush out, stopping only by a sloppy kiss made moiste by tears. I will forget her, for you. He vows, no matter how it hurts.
Nothing is worth the risk of not ever waking up to you.

i collect scars because I want proof
I've paid for the sins I've committed
