Isla
to share the space with simple living things, infinitely suffering
"Unless they plan to just take advantage of you being distracted by Halo to do other things," Isla says before she can help herself, which yes, by the way, immediately fills her with fresh dread. "Given that no one can be cured right now, there's no telling how many kisses Dahlia might dole out." Perhaps all of Stormbreak is already under her thrall?
Remi coming by once a day feels like it ought to be enough, only gods, then he has to remark on what happened to Flora, and given that she's unable and unwilling to send Ever away... gods, it almost has to be her, doesn't it? Letting out a shuddering sigh and rubbing her eyes, she nods sadly and reaches out almost on instinct to grab for one of his hands, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"I'll go to both," she says softly. "Say I'm collating information or learning new techniques. I just went up to Stormbreak for something similar." So it shouldn't raise suspicion, she hopes. "If it's still a problem after that... I'll say there's an outbreak of something somewhere. In the meantime, if he's here... please look in on him, Remi? Make sure he's okay?" And not, you know, planning their demise on the Family's behalf?

fighting off like all creation, the absence of itself
