you're the waves at my feet

i kept falling over, i kept looking backward

Remi's repetitive proclamations of love might look to the outside world like someone who is insecure. Perhaps especially so in the wake of Ronin and Amalia's tryst; but nothing could be farther from the truth. He simply likes how the words sound on his lips, and how promises of forevers, and only-yous ring in his ears. He'd tell Ronin a thousand times over just how loved he was, as if it was his favourite song to sing.

Remi's look of annoyance is ruined by the way he shivers under Ronin's fleeting fingers. Relaxed though the waters might make them, touching his husband (in any capacity) is one of his favourite pastimes, and it's with vigour and experience that he massages the muscles of Ronin's neck and shoulders.

"I'm sure we could. Though I don't know if we'd appreciate the heat in Torchline as much as here." Remi notes with a laugh, though perhaps underground things would be different. "Speaking of passing through...Has Safrin ever said anything to you about the portals? About not using them?" Them being the ascended technology that they were. Both Star and Lullaby could fly, so it wasn't as though the world was locked to them without the use of portals, but certainly it made things much easier.

i went broke believing that the simple should be hard
