kidnap me from my reality & crushed pieces of my soul
"I did, but only because Ludo cursed me, way back when." Remi says, his shrug just as boyish as his smile as he glanced down at Maea. "Gods, if only you'd known me from the world I came from." He adds with a chuckle; how Remi Abruzzo had gone from the lowest caste of citizen with no backbone to speak of and only ever polite words on his lips to what he was now, or even what he had been leading up the war, was nearly unbelievable.
"Shocking, isn't it. To think of a married couple having sex." He says, playfully nudging the ancient, though being careful to temper his strength lest he hip-check her halfway across the market. "Really I just...I wanted to find something to remind Ronin of simpler times. Responsibility has been weighing on him, lately." Vi's interruption of Safrin's meddling had done wonders for the Knight, but still the Bastion would like to see more laugh lines on his husband's face again.
Listening as Maea explained about the gaps in the general population's knowledge and how poorly information had been decimated as a whole, the Bastion frowned somewhat as his steps slowed. "You know...I suppose it never occurred to me to even ask, but...do people want to know?" Unlooping himself for Maea in order to accept the meat-pie, Remi smiled his appreciation before continuing to worry over the implications of what she'd said. "With the war...I suppose it just fell on us to take care of things, and now with this..." He swallowed. "I guess we all thought it was more of the same, but it isn't, is it."
The war had affected them all, yes, but this was an outside threat and that made it everyone's fight.
Grinning, there was a twinkle in his sea-glass stare as he glanced at Maea. "You know, I was just saying the same to Deimos. Not about dressing up, but about all being together and how far apart we all seem now."
