ISLA
"Thanks," Isla says with soft affection and a hint of relief. "I'll still be available to help if anyone needs me, of course, but... I might give these big Family get togethers a miss for a while." Emphasis on the capital F; real family get togethers are always a welcome affair. And she follows his oh-so-innocent glance over her shoulder as if she might be able to spot the very person she was definitely talking about, before her blue eyes return to Remi with a mischievous smile. "I most certainly will," she promises him.
Then, with her eyes still on the Northaven, Isla raises a brow as she senses the Bastion lean in close, knowing all too well his body language for huehuehue secrets. "Oho, I see," she whispers back, entirely unnecessarily. "Would you like a hand? Were you planning on collecting a barnacle from this place or something?" she wonders - hence why the houseboat has been dragged mostly ashore.
