"Yes, obviously," Isla says, and if they'd not been sitting across from one another with the tea between them, she'd have swatted him for the audacity. "You're my best friend and a father to multiple children," she adds, "so if anything I'll be knocking on your door at all hours for help once the baby is actually here." Her expression softens suddenly too as she lifts her tea to her lips without needing to worry for the heat of it, and she gazes across at Remi through the steam.
"I haven't discussed it with Ever yet, but providing he agrees, it would mean a lot if you were one of the baby's godparents," she says softly. "I know it's an antiquated sort of thing from back in Northaven, but... you can take the girl out of the duchess, and all that..." She shrugs.
As for Flora - and Kai, by extension - Isla scoffs out a laugh at that, raising her teacup as if to toast to it. "I mean, I will be telling her at some point," she says, as if to tell Remi he isn't permanently off the hook. "How is she, anyway? I heard Ronin is on her council, now? I'm glad - ruling solo is not an envious positon to be in."
