Heavy like a landslide
That's the way my heart beats now

"Flora." Raising his eyebrows, Remi's fingers pinch together as he gesticulates wildly in the space between them. "Listen to what you're saying. You really would expect that if you showed up saying you were going to marry Jack right out of the blue, your parents would have nothing to say about it?" Whatever the Doubletake thought she was owed, surely she couldn't believe that they'd all just shrug and nod? Even had it been Koa there would have been questions.
Her point about getting hurt is a good one, though Remi is still inclined to think that Flora's views on the way she'd proceeding with her new relationship were a bit too black and white. "You aren't wrong in that. Love can be messy and painful and sometimes even when it ends, it's still worth the hurt, but...Jack?" Sighing, Remi itches at his forehead as if he might smooth away the furrows of his frustration, still not entirely sure how it was they were having this particular argument about a man like Jack Barclay.
"All I mean to say is that..I understand taking risks especially where love is concerned, but Flora...even if you do love him, is this the sort of life you want? With a man like him? A man who'd rather be feared than respected? A man who hasn't just done a few bad things, but has made a living of it?" Exasperated, the Bastion shakes his head. "I know the dealings that I've had with him as Governor of Torchline, and I can't image Sunjata's were much better." Little does Remi know, of course, that they were both better and worse in some respects, but never mind. "And I know your mother and Ronin can probably be civil, but is that what you see for yourself? Think about what Sunjata is doing for your mother right now." Remi, who'd only been told about the Flood's proposal plans insofar as he was a conduit to inviting Enzo, merely shook his head sadly.
"You think Jack would go through all that effort, all the care and attention, to do that for you? Could he fill a room of people who would be happy for the two of you?"

Up until the last sunrise
I'll be reaching for you
I'll be reaching for you
