REMI
the bastion
& my heart ran away with me
Remi’s brows lift in perfect silence as Ronin’s fist thumps against his chest, the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk that he has the decency not to let become a laugh, if only because both boys are still asleep and because, after everything their family has survived, death by pie would be apt, but ultimately untimely. His foot never loses its rhythm against the bassinet, keeping Carlo and Calan adrift in whatever newborn dreams are merciful enough to keep their lungs uninvolved, while his gaze slides from Ronin to Flora.
The kiss pressed into his damp curls has him humming softly, an instinctive little note of affection tucked beneath the hush of the room, and he accepts the plate Ronin gives him with a murmured, "Grazie," so quiet it is more breath than sound. For a moment he looks at the pie as if considering whether he too is at risk of choking, but Flora has never had the good manners to deliver chaos in digestible portions, and so Remi merely balances the plate carefully in one hand while glancing back at her, surprise sharpening through the sleep-softness of his face.
"Well," he says after a moment, pitching his voice low enough that the twins remain undisturbed, "I suppose it cannot have gone too badly if you are here telling us about it."

Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
