the one that i keep

the lullaby

i don't want the world to see me,
because I don't think they'd understand

"Well..." Trailing off, Remi shakes his head. "I suppose there is no way we could have known they would have shown up at the same time." Exhaling a huff of air that helped to dry one of his curls on his forehead, the alchemist tilts his head slightly, reading Ronin's stuttered heartbeat as surprise. "Did you not think I would?" He asks with a wry smile. "Only I get to take off my wedding ring. And only in moments of absolute stupidity." There might be a good number of things Remi wasn't in a position to promise anymore—not to go on a murderous rampage, not to get himself killed, not to accidentally start a race war—but removing his wedding ring? That was easily done.

Looking at his arm, bandaged thickly and yet already slightly marred by blood, Remi lowers it as if planning on using it to reach for his cup. Thinking better and opting for his left, Remi frowns at the lack of dexterity but manages. Just.

"Easily, I would think." Setting his cup down and waggling his fingers until they became elongated and rubbery, he raises a brow. "If I can grapple a basilisk, I think I can hold onto Wessex." But even if he couldn't? If she teleported? "All it takes is one touch. And besides, as a spirit I can move without her being able to see me. And I can go into the Grounds."

when everything's meant to be broken,
i just want you to know who I am
