hope keeps us breathing, just to kill us in the end
"Oh yeah? And how often over these years have you remembered that she existed when you didn't want something?" Remi snaps in response because for all the captain's posturing about how this had been going on for So loNg, the Bastion was willing to bet that nearly all of it had been when Jack wanted to get his dick wet or when one of Flora's other assets were required. At least Remi had always come when he was needed, rather than his needs being the reason he came.
"Yeah, she did use her magic to bring me there. Funny how having you around wasn't enough." Remi scoffs; it was a cheap shot to be sure, but one the Bastion was more than happy to take.
Feeling as though he'd lost—not this little exchange with Jack, that he cared little about—but the chance to protect Flora, Remi presses his teeth together and reluctantly stands aside. He can see it all playing out now, either with his daughter stubbornly living out a life that she didn't want, or otherwise having her heart shattered by a man who didn't care. There was no real reason to be surprised that Jack hadn't been moved by logic or intimidation, and whatever bribe Remi could have offered he was sure that being cozied up to Flora could outbid him if only because of her channelling. Still, he'd at least hoped that Jack could see the writing on the wall and opt to steer clear of it.
"It's never going to be you, for her." Remi says softly before reaching for the door handle and swinging it open for the captain to exit.
