Vai only needs to smile her reply to Remi, running her thumb across the back of his hand before releasing him so he can top up his tea. "Not now, please, she murmurs gently in response to his quip - a quip that undoubtedly invites a darker conversation that Vai isn't quite ready for at the moment. She takes another sip of her drink, letting the silence draw out between them until it becomes comfortable once more.
Then Remi is calling back the past again, and smile that is pure delight spreads across Vai's face. "Yes," she says softly, nodding to him. "Of course I remember. Gosh, finding you on my doorstep like that. I don't think you could even speak to me at first, you were so upset." He had been such a desperately gentle soul, and Vai couldn't help but want to scoop him up and protect him.
