ISLA
"I am looking forward to it less, I think," Isla says with a warm laugh, though she can't help but soften to see Remi flushed and quietly excited for both the easy and hard parts of his new addition. "But I am eager to meet her. More and more everyday, now." Smiling down into her tea, she gives it a slow stir out of habit rather than necessity. "To think - they might end up being friends." Who can say after all, especially if this is going to become a regular catch up.
Flapping a hand at him as if to banish the sweetness of his words, Isla's grin somehow manages to be a little threatening. "Enough," she chides playfully. "...But I appreciate you saying it. Hopefully once this hurdle is over," the hurdle being the fact that she hasn't been able to see her toes in some time, "I'll see how I feel about everything." She's never felt the need for a ring on her finger in previous relationships, but then again none of them had gotten this far without some irreversible conflict or tragedy.
It's easier, anyway, to think of Remi and Ronin's little sprout up in Meadowreach, and Isla nods emphatic agreement. "I would feel the same way," she says. "Let me know if you want me to send any care packages up there with all of Torchline's specialities, in case you're homesick."
