REMI
the bastion
What good are hands
if there's nothing that they hold
if there's nothing that they hold
The damp weight of the cub against his leg draws Remi’s gaze down, a lopsided smile tugging at his mouth. He crouches easily, one broad hand reaching to ruffle the patch of fur at her neck not swallowed by the bright-blue float. The grin that slips across his face is unguarded, boyish, and for a moment, the logs, the Pool, and all its stillness are forgotten. Having worn the shape of a lion for so many years, the brush of feline fur carries its own sort of familiarity; there’s comfort in the feel of claws and whiskers, even on such a small predator.
When Damien mentions Halo and the past, Remi’s brows rise. "Oh? You know Ashe and Kalt, then?" His tone carries a spark of surprise that edges quickly toward fondness. He gives Aria another scritch for good measure before pushing back up to his feet, brushing the grit of sand from his palms.
"I am Theea’s uncle," he says with a laugh, the word uncle wrapped in boyish pride. "Ronin and I came through with Ashe and Kalt, back when the barrier still caged the Grounds. Ashe was like a sister to use in Northaven." His smile turns lopsided, affectionate in a way that makes it clear the memories are close at hand, all the more so given Ashe's reappearance in their lives. "Her mother, Theea's grandmother, practically raised my twins while we were living in the Greatwood."

And what good are hearts
if you bury them all alone?
if you bury them all alone?
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
