Let's not get lost in the dark blue
But darling if we do, just find me and I'll find you

Remi’s hand lingers in the air for a beat longer, suspended in that small, aching space between what he wants to offer and what she’ll allow. But when Isla pulls away, he doesn’t press. He only nods once—gentle, understanding—and lets his arm fall quietly back to his side. "Alright," he says softly. It’s a loaded word, one that acknowledges far more than it seems to; the refusal, the distance, the pain he isn’t permitted to carry for her this time. It stings, if only because he loves her so much, but there’s no judgement in his gaze. Only a depth of affection she likely doesn’t want to meet right now.
He shifts slightly on the uneven ground, glancing at the thicket she’d been reaching for, then back to her with a tired smile that never quite reaches his eyes. His gaze sweeps over her again, more carefully this time—not as a medic would examine a wound, but as a friend watches someone they’ve known too long not to notice the little cracks. The way the dress hangs off her frame. The exhaustion in her shoulders. The fact that her horns are bare of any glamour. "Was it…bad?" he asks, softer now. Not just Ever’s reaction, but the moment itself. The aftermath. What it’s done to her.
