I'll tell you no lies

the lullaby

The way up and the way down are one in the same
I'm calling an audible late in the game

About to say something else about mulch and nutrients, Remi's mouth closes with an audible click as his teeth come together. Though Mateo has said Ever's parents, what the Lullaby hears is F I N N screamed in various tones that echo behind his eyes. Instantly he feels both hot and cold to think of sharing a meal with the Spyglass, a man whose presence in Remi's thoughts alone is problematic, much less inhabiting the same space as him. Like inviting a recovering alcoholic to a wine tasting, nothing about having dinner with October and Finn seemed like the sort of evening that would invite anything but chaos.

"I...do not think that would be a good idea." He replies, stiffly, his grip on the rake growing tight enough that the wood begins to whine as it splinters. Clearing his throat, Remi releases a terse sigh through his clenched teeth.

If love is everything, love is pain
Certain spirits are too bright to be tamed

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
