so much of our lives is just carving through the dark
The fact that Isla is humming ought to be an indication that the Remedy is by herself - as she'd admitted to Sunjata when they'd lived together at the House of Midnight, she can't hold a tune for toffee, and she wouldn't willingly subject another person to it. The knock at the door has the 'music' fading, and a moment later her soft footsteps herald her inevitable appearance. She's taken off the apron now, and though there's still a smudge of purple above her eyebrow and icing sugar in her hair, her pebble blue eyes light up at the sight of the Flood.
"Sunjata! It's good to see you - come in, please." All but ushering him into the apartment - the smell of blackberries and the kitchen counter aside, it's an open, airy and clean space - Isla clicks the door shut behind him before stepping in to greet him with a hug. It's been a long time, longer still since she'd visited the House, and to say that the Remedy is in a much better headspace is an understatement. So whilst the Flood might still be devastatingly handsome and Frey's chosen, Isla has no qualms any longer about hugging her friend, her arms closing around him easily.
"Long flight over?" she asks; it's better than you look rough or you seem tired, but nevertheless offers him a chance to speak if he needs one.
