the lullaby

"Mateo, non sei più un bambino." The words sing from Remi's lips as they never quite do when he speaks in the common tongue. "Sai che riesco a sentire i morti, quindi anche se tuo padre e io non avessimo potuto fare nulla per Flora, avresti saputo che saremmo andati a prenderla. Durante quel periodo tu avresti potuto prendere in mano una penna. Potrebbe essere volato sopra."

Helping himself to a glass as well, Remi merely holds it between his palms, looking moodily down into the rust-coloured liquid. "Quello che sapevo, was that Ronin and I were doing everything we could for Flora. Quello che presumevo was that you would trust more in your family than what some random voice said into your mind."

Sighing heavily, Remi closes his eyes. No doubt the pair of them looked and sounded a good deal more dramatic than either intended to, but such was the case when he and Mateo got going, especially on matters such as these. Even so, the Bastion did try to rein himself in. "Tua sorella non è morta." He points out. "We left her with Jack and then had to force Sunjata to Halo to cure him of a void infection. We didn't send word to you because we thought you would know that Flora was alright."
