REMI

the bastion

Darling, you never could scare me
Set me ablaze like you do

"Hey Isla, how have you been? Good? Oh that's great. Me? Uh, yeah I just had a chat with Ronin, and did you know Everest was infected?" Wincing, the Bastion gives his head a shake, the muttered words discarded with a huff.

No doubt Isla's neighbours will be confused to say the least, to see Remi Taliesin pacing back and forth across her doorstep. Sometimes he seems as if he's ready to knock on her door, while at others his feet seem to be trying to lead him back out onto the street. Always, though, he ends up returning to just in front of her stoop, staring helplessly at her door and muttering continually.

Dressed in a pair of thin linen shorts and a mostly unbuttoned chambray shirt, Remi has worked himself up enough that his curls are damp with sweat and there's a line of perspiration dripping down the column of his spine. Despite the heat, he continues to pace, whispering fragments of sentences under his breath before mentally writing and re-writing them.

I'd walk over coals in my bare feet
If that gets me closer to you

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
