just a moment to hold

REMI

the lullaby

there's a light that you give me
when I'm in shadow

'I'm not sure I've ever seen you nervous before.' Remi says, though someone else might have just kept that to themselves and not drawn attention to it.

And then Isla does what she does best, calling attention to precisely the thing rearing its invisible head between them, and Remi can't help but laugh. 'That's all I want too. Vai and Ronin...they made such a big deal out of it, saying it was a date, and...' Then, realizing it still might be, he quickly shakes his head and continues. "—I just...it doesn't matter what it is or isn't. There is no one else I'd rather be doing this with." Were he not in this stupid jacket, he'd have flared a wing to wrap around her. Instead, though he just nudges her closer as they crest a small hill.

"I think here is good?" Letting her go, reluctantly despite the fact that the evening has just started, Remi reaches into his bag and pulls out a large plaid blanket. With a quick movement of his wrists, he unfurls it on the ground and offers Isla a crooked grin. "M'lady." He begins to bow, but pauses halfway and frowns "Or..duchess?"

there's a feeling you give me, an everglow
