REMI

the bastion

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

Talk of dinner dates and brunches will have to wait, much as it would have otherwise warmed a part of Remi's soul designated solely for Isla. Even as she reaches for his hands and pebble-blue currents of reassurance pulse from her fingertips, disbelief distorts Remi's thoughts as he looks up. His lips form the shape of the word he wants to say, but suddenly it feels as though he's the one at risk of fainting or crying or screaming.

The fact that Flora knew, was the one to tell Isla, only seemed to make everything feel even more impossible to understand, and gods why hadn't he suggested that they sit on the couch before starting this conversation.

"Isla," he manages at last, squeezing her fingers as tightly as he dared within his own. "You don't know that it isn't. It isn't safe for him to be here...not with you, not in Torchline.." Clearly he must have been missing something; how else could she worry about the dangerous thing that he and Ronin would be risking their lives to go and do, if she was quite literally sleeping with the enemy that they were all rallying to fight against?

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

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
