REMI
The sight of Mateo—sunlit curls pinned back, apron creased and smudged with earth, his hands still flecked with soil—catches Remi somewhere low in the chest. It's the kind of ache that doesn't show on his face, but digs in beneath the ribs all the same.
That his son’s first instinct is worry; that he is the reason for it. Remi flinches, if only internally. His lips twitch into a soft, rueful smile as he lets the door fall shut behind him. "No," he says gently, shaking his head, his accent winding warm and quiet through the stillness of the shop. "Nothing’s happened. Everyone is alright."
He lets the promise linger a moment longer before he gestures vaguely toward the ceiling. "I just needed to grab something from upstairs," he says. "Only a minute or two, if that’s alright. Then I’ll be out of your way." There’s no pressure in his voice, no expectation. Just a quiet request—an apology buried beneath the syllables that he doesn’t know how to speak aloud, and never really has.

There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
Code stolen from Queen Sky
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
