"Sometimes managing is the best we can hope for in our situation," Isla murmurs with a gentle smile as he sets her down, the medic absently straightening out his shirt and looking over the rest of him. She moves with the sort of intimacy and easy comfort that comes with two people who once shared a bond that ran so deeply. But she is still distinctly separate now, and that doesn't escape her - she steps back a bit to smile up at him. ISLA pray for me pray to me |
good night, sweet prince

i just can't remember who to send it to "Thank you." The alchemist chuckles, as if there's some crowd around to whom he's emphasizing his appreciation. "Honestly, the length of my beard is the last thing on my mind." He adds with a shrug. Being constantly on the verge of losing his fucking mind for any number of reasons made basic skincare seem utterly irrelevant. And honestly, the less he showered, the less he probably had to worry about Ianto (or anyone else) being a temptation. So there was that. More than abiding her fusses over him, the alchemist practically melts into them. Its been months since he's physically been around anyone with whom he's been so at ease. Even Vai didn't count, given how much the alchemist would always look up to her and strive to make her proud as any son might. 'No Ronin.' He confirms, though the melancholy is easily swamped by talk of his son and Isla's arms around his neck once again. 'Come on, I'll introduce you.' The offer is made before he thinks it through, but already his heart has run away with the idea of bringing Isla through the woods to where Mateo will be snoozing, or eating, or playing. "Mateo Isla Taliesin." Remi replies sappily, reaching for one of Isla's hands that he might enfold it in his. "Actually you played a rather large part in bringing him to life." The Lullaby adds bashfully.

i just can't remember who to send it to "I have always liked animals." The alchemist softly protests, raising his head away from Isla's fingers like some offended animal before flashing her a smile. "I'm the thing that guards this place. The only thing you have to fear is me, and you certainly don't need to do that." He adds, his hand tightening around hers though he doesn't tug her along until she seems at least roughly comfortable with the idea. "He's fine. Or at least..he's as fine as I am." Remi supplies as they walk, knowing Isla's tells like the back of his hand. "We've been apart for...months now." He squints as he tries to remember. Time has all but ceased to exist for Remi given how he spends his days (and nights). "He's in a place called Stormbreak, half way across the world." Farther, actually, but Remi hasn't seen a map of Caido yet. "And I'm here." He shakes his head a touch dismissively, silently suggesting they can tug at that particular string later. "Mmhm." Pride and love tinge his cheeks as he nods, before his expression turns from soft confusion to embarrassment. "Gods, nothing like that." He laughs, nudging her as they walk. "I...I can do things in dreams now. Build whole worlds if I want to. And I did, when things got really bad. I created a whole life for myself down there. I created a child." He knows how mad it sounds. It was mad at the time, after all, but then again, so was he. "And when things got too real, I couldn't pull myself out. So...when Ronin asked who I'd trust our son with when I couldn't be around...the only possible answer was you." Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, looking boyish and shy, Remi ruffles his free hand through his curls as they stroll into the Woods. "Later, Ludo made him real for us."

Then again, there'd likely never come a day when she wasn't just as equally of taking him down, either. "I wonder if I can show you.." Glancing at her over his shoulder and raising a brow, the alchemist softly ponders. "I know ascended have the ability to sleep...but do you dream?" Squeezing her fingers and shaking his head in her direction. "Of course I thought of you. You're..." Pausing, his lashes blinking against the sunlight as his mind worked to confirm, Remi's lips part in a slow smile. "You're genuinely my oldest friend, second only to Ronin in terms of really knowing me." And even then, for a time, Isla had access to the alchemist's mind in a way that Ronin never could. "Of course I thought of you."

i just can't remember who to send it to Remi is frowning as Isla explains—it all sounding very logical if not disappointing—but quickly grins as she suggests she'd be up for trying. "I do like a good experiment." He agrees, his smile large enough that his dimples could collect rainwater should it start to pour. "I can assure you I had no idea." He chuckles in response. "Honestly, I should probably check in with Wessex about that. They are setting up defences against the Order—the anti-ascended group from Stormbreak—" He quickly supplies, knowing Isla wouldn't know who they were yet, "—and that they aren't allowed here. As for my going there? I don't think I've been formally told I can't..." And, as Isla had already pointed out, saying no to Remi would now take some considerable muscle to back it up. "That sounds like a great idea. With Phoebe gone, the medical clinic has all but been abandoned. There aren't as many non-ascended as there were but...well. Can you heal ascended?" He knew as a unicorn she specifically could, but whether or not her skills as a medic would quite transfer over, he had no idea.

i just can't remember who to send it to Now, as adoring and doting of a father as Remi was, he did lack a good deal of practical know-how when it came to raising a child. Shitty upbringing as he'd had, it hadn't even occurred to him to take Mateo for a check-up, especially with Phoebe being so far away these days. "Oh..uh..." Running a hand across the back of his neck and flashing his friend an apologetic but also shit-eating grin, he can only shrug. "I mean..bugs are a good source of protein?" Reaching out and pressing his finger against the crease formed between Isla's eyes as if he might wipe away her upset as easily as he could the line, Remi just grins at her. "If there's anyone who can, it's you." He says confidently as the trees finally decide to part and reveal Ianto's wagon. The merchant appears to be making something out of string and wood (a dream-catcher, Remi has been told before, not that he believes it, especially given his magic), and at his feet on a blanket is a blue-eyed boy. Mateo hasn't quite started to speak yet, but he does hum and sing a wide variety of sounds, many of which he's doing now as Ianto chats away to him. "Hope you don't mind I've brought an old friend to say hello."

i just can't remember who to send it to "Well...good for his immune system, then." Remi replies as if that's any sort of defence. Flinching dramatically as he's poked, the alchemist sighs as if he's just consigned himself to something very undesirable. "Yes, yes. I'll even make sure to shower first." It's as much a practical thing as a polite one; Isla likely won't even be able to find any skin on the alchemist not caked with hair or grime for the woods, which certainly wouldn't make a check-up all that easy. Beaming as all eyes are upon Mateo, Remi chuckles under his breath and immediately shakes his head. "Don't let Ronin hear you say that. He's only been able to see Mateo in dreams and is worried about missing out on everything." And..he wasn't wrong. They all knew he wasn't wrong. Reaching down and plucking up Mateo from the blanket, the boy giving a distinct trill of unhappiness at no longer being able to shred the grass beneath Ianto's chair, quickly turns his attention to his father's beard. Tugging at it—this being something Remi has been forced to bear—the alchemist turns back toward Isla as he bounces Mateo slightly to get his attention. "What say you little man? Want to meet someone special?"

i just can't remember who to send it to Rolling his eyes and begrudgingly nodding—fine, he would shave and shower—Remi couldn't help but wonder if once upon a time Devrum received such flack. Cackling brightly as he's fussed over, Mateo twists in Remi's arms, his pudgy hands reaching out for Isla that she might scoop him away and continue her fusses. Not unlike Ronin, Mateo is clearly quite comfortable in the limelight. 'Well, that'll be another thing he'll have to get advice from Ronin about." Remi chuckles, offering the baby over to Isla who he has no doubt will accept. Much as Ronin might think he's missing out, in truth this might just help balance the scales. During Mateo's more formative years, it'll be the Star who is able to provide the best support for the boy, rather than the alchemist. "He's just about the only thing that has kept me in check these months." Remi says, sighing slightly and glancing at Ianto out of the corner of his eye—perhaps apologetically, perhaps predatorily—before turning back to Isla and Mateo.
