just a moment to hold

REMI

the lullaby

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

Remi can only smirk at that, offering Isla nothing but a vague bob of his eyebrows for her to go on. But as the conversation swings from his past experiences to those he has with her, the alchemist's expression grows a good deal more sombre as he immediately shakes his head. "I never feel that way. When I close my eyes with you, I don't see anyone else. I don't have to see anyone else."

Nodding against her hand—she would likely have an easier time telling if he was pretending than most—he presses her palm against his cheek as he listens. "Ah, well. It wasn't bragging or anything like that. With Ronin, it was...well." He shrugs. "We've reaffirmed our need to be honest with one another. And with Vai?" Remi's lips twitch upward in a small and shy uthat makes his cheeks softly dimple. "The first time I ever kissed a man, or at least when one kissed me, she was the one I went to for advice about how I was feeling. Everything with you...isn't so different." He doesn't sound quite apologetic when speaking of who he had told and why, and in the days to come, he'd wonder why it was Isla found it so surprising.

"No." Leaning back, moving her hand from his cheek so that he could gaze over his shoulder at her, Remi shakes his head emphatically. "You're more you than anything. This body...what organs you have and how everything is run, that isn't you. This is." Reaching up to cup her cheek, he taps his finger against her temple.

there's a feeling you give me, an everglow
