the lullaby
Inhaling sharply as Isla tangles herself against him, Remi wraps his arms as snugly around her as he dares having lost all grip on how normal people embraced one another thanks to Ronin. "I am so sorry," He whispers softly against her hair, his lips near the curve of her neck as his hands tighten against her. Whether the words are in response to the things he's done or to the oil-slick mirage of colours that shift from Isla hardly matters. He's sorry for all of it, and he thinks he always will be.
"You are so...so warm." He doesn't pull back to say this, not when he's gone without Isla for nearly two years now, but even with the roar of the ocean crashing against the shoreline he doesn't need to speak above much more than a whisper. It's a realization that has the Lullaby smiling crookedly; it was only once Isla had become an ascended that the pair's relationship became physical, and from that point on the Remedy had always remained at precisely the same temperature. Now though, her body sun-warmed against him, it feels as though she's alive again despite the nearness with which she's been flirting with death.
"I know that for you most of this happened years ago, but having just seen it...gods, Isla, I was so selfish. When you became an ascended...the Longnight we spent together, when your clinic burned down and Cal-"

You trace my lines, stirring my soul
shoot sparks at the heart of the world
& I watch it explode
shoot sparks at the heart of the world
& I watch it explode
