whiskey, smoke and aces high

A lot's been changin' lately and I can't tell
If it's me or if it's everybody else

As Ronin's smile disappears, so too does any hope Remi might have had that they could just...breeze through this encounter. Pull up a chair, we're just about to start double jeopardy. Want to finish my pudding? 'So like home, then?' The levity in his voice is painful to his own ears, and the smile that accompanies the words dies as soon as the last syllable has left his lips.

"I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I would have reached out sooner if I could, but...well..." Now it's Remi's turn to rub awkwardly at the back of his neck. "...I wasn't conscious until yesterday." He adds in a low voice, before clearing his throat and letting his hand slump back into the bed. On one of the monitors, Remi's heart rate has increased to about 176 BPM, and continues to rise. "I feel bad that you drove all the way over here, Isla wasn't supposed to tell you where I was." He mutters as his cheeks flush.

we're only human but w?'ve got hands and hearts and noses
So stop and sm?ll the fuckin' roses
