Hotaru
It is a relief, and the tension in her frame ebbs away in particles at the reassurance. Whether that same allowance will spare Nate or Kiada, Hotaru can’t weather the storm that sort of hope would bring. At least she can be grateful in the here and now for this singular piece of comfort.
The involvement of Remi makes her heart sink like a stone through a clear lake. He is her friend, yes, but he is most importantly the father of her children. He has done many things for her, aided her when he had no reason to, and though she isn’t sure what Wessex would need from the man her insides still go cold at the notion of having to deceive him. Her only saving grace is that so few know he is the father of the twins, and even fewer know she has any connection to him at all beyond residing under his reign. Ru makes herself speak through lips gone numb. “What would the Voice need? Would he give it willingly, if the Greatwood is being transparent about their own efforts? Though if he wouldn’t, you’d lose your surprise factor.” And any hope of obtaining something physical from the demigod.

what I did, do, to me and you, keeps me awake
if I were a ghost, you'd be the proof
