Isla
"Mm, you're right about that." Not only is it unfair - it has a habit of being quite unnecessarily cruel, and Remi has been on the receiving end of it more than once. It's one of the reasons she keeps her fingers wrapped in the alchemist's when he shifts back, her gaze slipping from his face so she shamelessly doesn't have to look at him while they talk about the more awkward aspects of their relationship as of late.
Clearing her throat softly, Isla shakes her head. "No, I... there's no one else," she confirms. Other boyfriend, Remi? Does that count you as one of them officially, then? But as Remi squeezes her hand, she can feel his eyes on her, and the medic glances up that she might look at him properly. Her smile is sweet and open and relieved, in fact, to be talking about it, and she shifts under his arm to give him a hug.
"Gods, I hope so," she says of being okay. "I think perhaps I put a little too much pressure on myself when we went on that date. It was... it felt like things had to be a certain way, and that's just... not us. I was embarrassed of how I acted as soon as I got home. So... yes, I want us to be okay. I don't see why we shouldn't be."
