what helps us sleep at night

REMI

the lullaby

"No offence taken." He replies easily enough, wondering if there was any point in mentioning that he was quite far from being human nowadays, but deciding against it. "I do what I can." Remi acknowledges. He wanders on four paws which the Woods seem to abide far more than two feet. But mouths and hands are useful tools, and remaining shifted too long tends to do strange things to his mind.

Looking up at her, his scars mostly hidden by his clothing and his eyes boyishly bright, he looks little like the murderer that Ludo's coaxing has made him into. "I owe the Greatwood many debts for all she has done for me over the years." From keeping Ianto safe when the fox landed outside the barrier, for holding the key to things needed to unlock his power, even to hosting the Lady Arduinna, who had blinded him and yet in that taught him a great many things.

"Ludo has placed me here to serve as her guardian, but more so, I have seen how the ascended have trampled through here, heedless of the many, many warnings given to them—" The Mathair will have been brought back once the PQ+ ends, so we'll just handwave around that. "—and if my presence here is enough to keep them on their side of the border, then so be it."
