just a moment to hold

REMI

the lullaby

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

Remi just shakes his head. "I still don't understand. In Northaven anyway, you did not need to squeeze your feet into something like that for everyone to know you were vivacious." Not Isla specifically, but from what Remi had heard, nearly all the royals and bluebloods alike were as sexually frustrated as one could imagine. In a society hellbent on population growth, it really made little sense.

Isla says dancing, but no sooner do the words If Ronin and I... leave her lips, than Remi is picturing something that, in certain contexts, might be called a dance. Clearing his throat around the sudden lump there and very much wishing he had something to drink, Remi mutters: "I'd..like to see it."

Gods, you idiot.

The soft resistance of her fingertips against his chest has him wanting to press harder against her, and he's thankful for the dim light of midnight that partially hides the flush of colour now rising toward his temples. "Is that so?" He wonders with a lopsided smile, before his brow raises. "Oh?" Leaning all the more that his eyes were just a few inches from her, the alchemist tilts his head with an intentional naivety. "And if this was a date, why wouldn't I want to kiss you?" He asks, the hand near her side previously flattened against the ground, now rising to softly curl around her hip as Remi takes a genuinely flustered sip of air.

there's a feeling you give me, an everglow
