are you really going to talk about timing in times like these?

"It does tend to do that." He agrees softly as his mind unhelpfully regurgitates what Aurelia had said along those lines, about Hotaru's pregnancy. Removing the bow and quiver as he follows along, Remi sits at her side, stretching one arm across the back of the bench and crosses his legs at the ankles. 'Safe from what?" He implores, their green eyes meeting as his head tilts gently to the side. 'Where is Locke?' Though he and the man hadn't parted on the best of terms, certainly he and the madame had been together then, and that was only last season. And though pregnancy wasn't his forte, based on how far along she was...unless it wasn't his, of course.

"Maeve," It wasn't his place, and perhaps it had more to do with the strange way he'd come to know the queen more than anything else, but he felt an urge to protect her in a way that no longer came naturally to him. "—a bow is not going to keep you safe. Not in a war. Not against fires or floods. Not while you are nursing." Knowing that she'd lived here her whole life, Remi doesn't bother to suggest that she move to the Greatwood, especially having just been named queen.

"Perhaps you should have asked Safrin for a weapon, instead of me." Reluctantly said, even Remi's pride wasn't so grandiose that he couldn't see when his efforts were going to come up short.
