[se] we come in waves

the lullaby

"I lost it...and then Ludo gave it back to try and get me to lighten up." Frowning, Remi glances over one of Isla's shoulders as his head lolls uncertainly back and forth. "I think the jury is still out on that one." He admits before Isla's tears steal his attention and it's with gentle fingertips that he interrupts them.

With his hand still in the shape of her cheek as she creates enough distance between them to begin to physically assault him, were it not for the shimmer of relief and playfulness he could feel thrumming through her, he might have been a good deal more confused. Instead, he takes his beating without argument and even leans back on one hand to give Isla even more room to continue her barrage if she wants. Smiling softly, his other hand and wing still curled around her, Remi nods.

'No, never.' He readily agrees, sea glass eyes dancing across her features as he began to memorize them anew. "Nothing like that ever again without talking to you first, though I hope it never comes to that again." The last part is said somewhat gruffly as emotion clogs his throat anew and a ripple of tension shivers up his body.

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

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
