REMI

the bastion

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

If he's at all aware of the unconscious subterfuge beginning to take root in Isla's mind, Remi gives no indication. Of anyone in their little group of friends, the Bastion is perhaps best equipped to understand the ramifications of going against the advice of everyone and everything in order to protect someone he loved; gods knew he'd done it enough times in the past. "It'll be alright." He murmurs softly, and while he doesn't sound enthusiastic about it, he doesn't sound unconfident either. "I loved Ronin through the blight and he loved me through whatever the hell came after...I've loved you as an accepted, an ascended, a companion, an enemy, and now an ancient." He'd loved children who weren't his, and those who had broken his heart; if he could do that, Isla, who was infinitely better than him in every way, could continue to love the aviator.

And if Everest couldn't love her, then there was more wrong with him than just an infection.

"You and Ever can get through this, whatever happens." In his mind, of course, whatever was likely going to be someone dragging the aviator kicking and screaming to the springs in Halo.

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