leave me blind but play the reel

i've seen fire & i've seen rain.
i've seen sunny days that i thought would never end

Though Remi says nothing, his head further inclines, avian in its angle. The skin around his eyes tightens and then relaxes as he considers all the things Finn knows about him, weighed against those he doesn't. That Remi is a demigod, but not anything about his abilities if Finn's surprise at his wings and water-magic are any indication. That he is married to Ronin, but nothing of Aoife or Seren. That he is in Torchline as her Governor, but not why.

'I don't have many feelings available to be hurt or disrespected." Remi says as if to absolve Finn of any guilt despite the fact he hasn't yet compared them. Thunder rumbles and the rain around them begins to fall all the harder for it, yet none reaches them.

"Once, I was the type of man to find himself lost on a beach, asking about inventions." Remi says mildly. "Though...I would have been more tongue-tied than you have been so far if the situation was the same." Finn does not seem to harbour the same sexual uncertainties that manifested as social awkwardness that Remi once did. Even now he sits closer than Remi would have managed, holds more eye contact.
