Time has passed. How much time is not Isla's concern - Halo became the Grounds, strange became familiar, and she begins by trying to piece together whatever is left of the life she left behind. There isn't much, even less than she had hoped, in truth, but there's something at least. That something is Remi Taliesin. Rumours abound, of course, about the demigod in the Greatwood, and though she cannot go there, she also doesn't sleep. ISLA pray for me pray to me |
good night, sweet prince

walked out this morning and i wrote down this song.
i just can't remember who to send it to Why Ludo was sending him ravens and signing them with Isla's name was beyond him. That it often took the form of the former-medic when they were together made sense. But this seemed contrived even for the herald. Normally Remi's evenings were reserved for Mateo and then Ronin, the Star would just have to understand that while Ludo did not come first by any means, ignoring one's summons wasn't a smart idea. And so he trudged toward the border, stifling a yawn behind the back of a hand while the other held a chunk of bread with a wedge of cheese unceremoniously lodged inside. Seeing Isla sparked nothing within him. News hadn't travelled to the Greatwood about what had happened during the festival, and so there was no reason for the Lullaby to think that the pebble-blue stare he would soon be greeted with belonged to anyone but Ludo. "I do appreciate the charm." Remi says, holding aloft the letter and the small charm which has allowed it to find him so swiftly. "Since you summoned me, does that mean you brought a game this time?"

i just can't remember who to send it to Remi isn't looking too closely of course. Anytime Ludo has taken on this form it usually is to drive home some message or other, or to impart a very specific brand of torture. So he misses the tears that make shiny Isla's pebble-blue stare and the smile that belies more emotion than the herald has ever used Isla's face for. 'So I've been told.' The alchemist says through a tired sigh, ruffling a hand through his curls and coming away with more than a few twigs and small leaves. At the confusion of his reference to a game, Remi's instincts rouse from slumbery to on-alert. However as she further says she just heard he was in the Greatwood, Remi's ears metaphorically pin against his skull as his pale stare rises sharply. "If this is the game...I don't want to play. Please, not with her." He manages through a throat suddenly quite tight. Balling his hands into fists (and thus letting his dinner drop to the ground), is all he can do to keep his temper. "I know what I did to Isla. I don't need to be reminded." Remi adds, cheeks flushed from shame and ever-lingering guilt over how he'd selfishly retained the medic.

i just can't remember who to send it to "I showered..." The alchemist frowns, trying to remember. "..an amount of time ago." As for shaving? He shrugs. "Why? I wasn't aware my grooming routine was part of my mandate here." Remi replies stiffly. That Ludo would say it wasn't playing a game was all par for the course, until the Voice was mentioned. With eyes tinging white at the outset now, the alchemist straightens fully, his wings very nearly unfurling from his back in a display of intimidation. He refrains, but only just. "The Voice at the Festival of Lights. She gave everyone a chance." Remi repeats flatly, hoping that Ludo—or whatever this was—would see the blatant absurdity in what was being said.

i just can't remember who to send it to Remi eyes the...whatever is before him with a stern and untrusting stare. His ribs expand outward with each breath, the muscles of his biceps tense enough that his arms threaten to shake under the stress. As she leans forward, the Lullaby similarly leans back, head tilting slightly as she eyes him. "No, I—" He bites off the word, as if saying anything more might play into whatever game this was. "Ah, convenient that. Imitating someone but lacking the specifics of their life." Not Ludo then, because Ludo would know. So then this was... ..then.. Remi takes a stumbling step forward, and where the political barrier between the Greatwood and the Grounds a real thing, he'd have been nose to nose with it. Muscles shaking but no longer from tension, the alchemist lets out a shaky breath that has his stomach clenching and his tongue wrapping around discarded words. "Isla?." Tears prickle his eyes and wash away the white, leaving them a bright and shimmery green. If it wasn't her, if it was all some cruel joke, then best he dig his own grave now. As alone as the alchemist had been over the past weeks, his heart simply wouldn't be able to take it. Not after he'd already lost her so many times already.

He is the thing protecting the Greatwood from the ascended and while the gods might not agree, he's also the one who can bend the rules. So as she reaches for his hand, he reaches for her. Tugging her against him, enfolded in arms and wings and the sounds of muffled tears and sips of laughter, Remi just snorts at the recognition of how much bigger he is now. Her body is a non-temperature against him, calibrated perfectly and in that feeling like nothing at all, but he hardly cares. "Others?" He mumbles into the golden sweep of hair against her neck, before pulling back enough to gaze down at her. "Oh..kay? Anyone I should know about?" Remi isn't sure why it matters, not having put two and two together that those who have returned are ascended, and unless one of them is Aoife (which Isla presumably would have led with), he doesn't care. THE LULLABY maybe it's a long gray game, but maybe that's a good thing

i just can't remember who to send it to "Losing you twice..." His arms shake with emotion. Or had it been three times? "I'm so sorry. For what I did. For keeping you like that..." He hadn't intended her to be a companion. Hadn't intended for her mind to slowly blow away on a breeze until there was nothing left but a mythical husk with eyes not quite the same shade of pebble-blue. "I know you said it's okay, but it isn't. It won't ever be." Her lips against his cheek, scruff-covered though it is, has a tight ball of emotion in the back of his throat expanding and cutting off anything else he might have tried to say. Laughing slightly, the tension in his body a variable and unsteady thing just now, Remi glances over his shoulder and shrugs. "Yeah. It's a long story." He replies through a shaky smile. Edrei? Kiada? "Oh, that's.." But he can't even pretend to care, and instead reaches down lowering that he might pick her off the ground to completely engulf her in his grief and ferocious relief and joy at seeing her again.

i just can't remember who to send it to Grinning into the crook of her neck, Remi eventually sets her down despite wanting to keep clutching at her like some doll from his boyhood. 'I'm okay.' He confirms with a nod. "Not good, but I'm ... managing." And really, that was the truth of it. Remi was managing. Not particularly well, but not terribly either. Or at least, not by his standards. Remembering something she said earlier, the alchemist crinkles his nose apologetically. "I...really haven't showered in a while. Its just been me in the Woods. Well. Me and Ianto, and.." Realizing then that the Isla Ronin had manifested in their dreams to take care of their son hadn't been the real one, Remi brightens and softens considerably. "..and my son." He nearly gushes the word, colour blooming in his cheeks as his dimples deepen and his smile becomes increasingly bashful and crooked. 'Ronin and I had a son."
