the lullaby

Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong

"Well, you are not very detail-oriented, so..." Remi chuckles back, feeling as though they're walking on clouds instead of marshy mounds of mud. The mention of LongNight is a chilling breath of reality he could have done without. Tinged by darkness as most of his memories are, there is one that fills him with a red sort of joy to remember, and it has that memory that has Remi swallowing hard and nodding. "Without the monsters..." He repeats carefully. "And...does that mean things will be alright?" Though the Lullaby has an overactive imagination when it comes to monsters, he doesn't think he's being farfetched in wondering if no monsters is the same thing as no danger.

"I would think by now he would not need to hurt himself as an excuse to see you." Remi chuckles, truly wanting to be fully happy for Isla but knowing he never quite would. He loved her too much for that, and that love would always be tinged with selfishness. Even so, the grin he flashes her is genuine just the same. "Maybe the Voice could get him a bubble-wrap upgrade, mm?" Nevermind that bubble wrap isn't a thing.

I'll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone
