dream a little dream of me

the lullaby

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

Remi's lips part at that, though whether to disagree or apologize isn't entirely clear. Not even to him. He owed her an apology, that much was probably true, but hadn't he saved her twice, as well as killed her? From death the first time as a woman, and from the life she'd have to lead with his blood on her hands? "Based on what I know, I doubt I could have gone through with it if I had." He says, resisting the urge to shrug and instead rolling his shoulder in an attempt to relieve some of the tension there.

"Do you want me to avoid it?" Raising his eyes fully and doing his best to see Isla for who she was now, and not for the bits and pieces of her that he remembered reading, the Lullaby tilts his head imploringly to the side. It's the closest he can come to saying we both know I won't be bothered by being here, without cutting deeper into that particular wound.

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