Emmett came closer when he was motioned, his eyes growing wide as Remi whispered a mental secret to him. He nodded and tapped his temple, then stepped back over the boundary line (just to be petty).
Remi was surprisingly understanding of his telling of his argument with Phoebe, something Emmett had not expected after the rather threatening tone he'd taken on about her at Fiat Lux. But he was glad to have someone to talk to, regardless.
"Uh..yeah, Longnight. Y'know what happened t'me and my family and stuff, right? I was only outta sorts for a little, but she did a lotta stuff for me and I said thank you a bunch and let her know I appreciated it, but she got upset I didn' wanna kiss and stuff...but my family had just died, and we were only jus' together. I didn'...have the energy. To do any of that stuff." He shrugged. "But she'd prolly tell you I have it wrong. This is what I mean. I don' think we...get each other."
It was awkward to hear that Remi had broken up with his boyfriend, and Emmett held up his hands apologetically. "Oh, uh, sorry. I guess everyone's breakin' up right now, huh? It's tha' kinda time I guess. Chaos n change always come together, that's what my Ma said. The Spire, this...Queen...the Fae..s'all a lot in less than a year."
Emmett
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
