See true, see far

i have been quietly standing in the shade

So Remi had done a stupid thing, and as one does in those situations, he'd grabbed a bottle of something dark and sweet from his shop and gone home.

Or well, to the guildhall. Which was his home and yet felt...strange, just now.

Aoife was still there, and Isla, and Sugar, but now Ronin as well. Ronin the father, Ronin the guildmaster, just as he should be, and yet something nagged at Remi's mind. Something like an errant string on a sweater that no matter how much you tell yourself simply to leave it be, you can't. You need to pull it. Oh sure, you tell yourself that if you do it will just uncoil a bit and all will be well. The distraction will be gone.

But in fact it will unravel the whole damn thing. And you know this, somewhere, deep down.

But you pull anyways.

And so it was that Remi, late in the evening, came home. Entering the kitchen he poured two drinks and set them on the table, merely staring at them. Next to them was a piece of glass with an ornamental circlet of what looked like opal around it.

watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
