a house full of whispers

REMI

the lullaby

kidnap me from my reality
& crushed pieces of my soul

"You say that now." Remi interjects, waggling his eyebrows to suggest all sorts of mischief he might get up to with only a spoon in his arsenal. "Ah." His relief is palpable, slumping in Ronin's arms with a worried smile. "I had thought...lighting the spoon as if it were a counter." A counter which was going to start now.

"Nubs." Remi purrs affectionately, running his fingers on top of the velvety stumps that will shortly grow into a proud and admirable rack. For now, the Lullaby is endlessly amused by this arguable shortcoming on Ronin's part.

"I didn't want to say it." He agrees, the world around them softly thudding with the sound of their combined hearts as if they're in some massive heart-like cathedral. "I didn't want to make it harder when you had to go." Remi admits, holding a breath he doesn't need here before shakily letting it out. Leaning back if only so that he can rake his hands unhappily through his hair, Remi looks up into the canopy of leaves that have formed overhead, watching as they turn from crisp spring green to a burned autumn-gold. "I am so very, very sick of having my memories messed with like this." He says, eyes dropping back to Ronin's. "If I find out this was anything but unintentional..." Tilting his jaw to the side, the skin feathering as he clenches his teeth together, Remi lets the silence fill in the blanks.

He'll stop at nothing to exact vengeance, should this prove to be something other than just a natural disease.

colour me outside the lines
until my shattered heart is whole

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
