REMI

the alchemist

& my heart ran away with me

Are you? Releasing Ronin if only so that the Knight might not feel the way the tide of the Bastion's emotions was suddenly growing cold and indigo with hurt, Remi let his gaze fall heavily to the space he was placing between them as he sighed. "I don't like that there are things we can't talk about." He mumbled, his unhappiness tempered only by his desire not to fight with his husband, and yet...it already felt as though a yawning cavern had opened up between them. Or perhaps, it had just been concealed all these years by clever wordplay and signs of warning that they only ever acknowledged out of the corners of their eyes in order not to get too close.

Wading his way towards the shore, Remi sat heavily down upon the sands and drew his knees toward his chest in order to rest his forearms upon them. Ronin would feel Remi's heartbeat as an unsteady scattershot on his finger, as feathers slowly appeared in his wet curls. Linking his hands together to keep his fingers from fidgeting too much, as he lifted his eyes to the Knight once more, they were already growing red with tears. "I...think there is something I want to say to you." He said slowly, his eyes dropping somewhere around Ronin's waist.

"Something that will likely continue this conversation, so if you'd rather not, then.." Releasing one of his hands in order to roll his wrist, he shrugged.
