[PQ] Throw Away the Key

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

Remi's nostrils flared releasing a stream of shaky anxiety as her fingers worked against his curls. He listened, hope spilling across his face. Zariah had been kind to him. Cruel yes, but kind as well. She had found him in the woods, she had offered to help. She'd been there during his testing of the barrier and she'd been a key reason that the barrier had fallen.

"Just...tell me." Remi murmured weakly. "If it is to help others...to make this place more safe, of course I will help you." He added, brows knit together in soft and gentle confusion.

However as she mentioned that she still needed him, Remi's blood ran cold and he felt his stomach clench. "And...Ianto?" He asked tentatively, glossing over her thoughts on how best to achieve a stable society. He felt more like a commoner now than he ever had, and such things were far, far above him.

With a silent nod, Remi reached for the chains but found his one wrist still sore. Picking them up with his magic instead, he trailed behind Zariah's clicking heels as if she were leading him by echolocation.
