right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up
& right now all your dreams are waking up
Remi presses his fingertips against his eyes and presses, furious at them both that they'd harboured so much against one another that could be undone so quickly. They'd assumed and smoothed things over so often that splinters grew into knots that tripped them up constantly.
Their marriage had? was? did? nearly end over what suddenly felt like nothing.
Biting the inside of his lip and glancing only slightly over his shoulder, Remi pauses as if there's something that makes him hesitate. "Because I was there." And then knowing that Ronin would no doubt ask him to explain, the alchemist slumps slightly. "I flew. Up. And then up some more, to try and find Vi." Remi continues, his voice soft and ashamed. "I said I'd gone too far. That I'd grown too strong and without you, there was no one—mortal anyway—who could hold me accountable. Who could..make me do anything." This at least sounds a little like the old Remi. The man uncomfortable with how strong he'd become, who didn't understand quite what he was anymore. "I only said she'd take your powers away, and he summoned her to explain."
Watching Ronin move as if they were two caged animals negotiating a space too small for them to coexist peacefully, Remi raises his eyebrows. It isn't so surprising, and yet? "So you're going to stay in Stormbreak then? You...live there, here, now?" Remi bites the inside of his cheek to keep away the snarl and the sob that wants to twist his lips, and he forces his eyes down to the floorboards. "My old guild.." He says with a dry snort. "In a land with Sera's, who can make anything, and everything better than I ever could?" What would the point of it be?
"I suppose I meant are you in love with anyone else." Remi clarifies in a voice that's raw and dry now, unable to meet Ronin's gaze. However as the question is returned, Remi just shakes his head. "I don't think so, no. What I felt for Ianto is..quite faded, now." Real love doesn't go away entirely, Remi has learned. But it quiets. 'And I love Isla. More than a friend, but less than being in love." It was hard not to, after what and how they were together, both recently and in the past.
