right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up
& right now all your dreams are waking up
'I'm sensing a theme among your shifts, Ronin." The alchemist says, and the playfulness in his voice is short-lived if only because of how much it hurts. Quickly he clears his throat, the joy burning on the way down.
'I don't despise her.' Remi corrects, his voice dark and his expression suddenly cold. "I hate her with everything I am. And if you knew what I did, you would hate her too. You'd not be able to even look at her." Quickly Remi has to clamp down on his emotions lest they seep out into the attuned bond he's also trying to keep shuttered. Licking his tongue over his teeth which are now shark-like and ragged, the alchemist shakes his head. "I can't explain it without breaking my vow to Ludo and risking our son's life, but...believe me when I say that I am not overreacting. I will never be okay with her." Picking at a bit of fluff on the blanket, Remi pulls in a breath and releases it as calmly as he can. "But it was Vi who made her give you your powers back." He adds.
The conversational waves have Remi fighting for breath, and as he looks over his shoulder at Ronin, all he can do is offer his husband a tight-lipped smile. "I know." He whispers, clenching his teeth hard enough that the tension in his jaw changes the shape of his face. "I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but I wouldn't trade away what we have now. But...Aoife...it isn't even just her. She represents a time when we were at our best." Ronin back from the dead, their love new and in full bloom. A guildhall full of potential and their daughter's bright eyes and singing voice.
Ronin's laugh hurts him to hear, leaving the alchemist pulling the blanket up over his shoulders as if to protect himself from the sweetness of it. "I don't mean to be so distant from everyone, I just...I don't care about the things they do."

The Lullaby
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
