when you wake

right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up

"Want?" Remi swallows at that, thinking it was quite clear by this point. You, he thinks through clenched teeth, green eyes slowing blinking at the man coming undone before him. "I can, though." The alchemist says. That it's unfair isn't relevant. "Surely there will be something I can offer Ludo that it can...give me something that makes you invisible to me. Or if there's another god you're close with, no doubt they'd help." If it comes to light that it's Safrin, well...she'd certainly be keen to block Remi out.

It both was and wasn't just to fuck. It was in the sense that it would likely be the only way to flush Finn from his system, but it certainly wasn't in the way Finn had in mind. Not the sort of act that the Spyglass could clutch a pillow through, hold his breath, and it would be over. Remi could never want that. Could never be that.

Crack, then, he thinks. Remi watches Finn lean against the wall, green eyes soaking in the weave of the scarf and the lips likely twisted in a grimace beneath. "If I find a way to keep myself from you, will you take it?" He asks, imaging the Spyglass once again rejecting a magical offering from the alchemist.
