REMI

the lullaby

Might have to draw me a diagram, Remi mimics to himself, before unfurling a wing that he might cup enough water in it to reach Ronin where he luxuriates in the grass. Of course Ronin's question, entirely reasonable and intensely helpful, just leaves Remi opening and closing his fingers against the top of the water, glaring down at it. "It feels like you are not taking this seriously enough." The alchemist mutters. "I do not feel like we are on the same page about this." Maybe it was just a slip on Ronin's part that he hadn't realized the ramifications of having Sunjata watch Mateo, but since they were well down the road of always being honest, Remi didn't bother to blunt his feelings.

Sighing, his anger quickly dissipating, Remi pads out of the water and up the riverbank, collapsing wearily in the grass at his husband's side. "No one knows who started any of the fires. And if it was not a coincidence, then...that is quite the plot." Remi's tone has softened considerably, and as he sighs he moves to itch his cheek against his shoulder. "Isla would have died were I not there. And ... the more I think about it, the more I think it must have been Ludo who made it so that I could not see her." Raking both fingers through his wet curls, Remi shifts his stomach in the grass before raising his gaze to meet Ronin's. "I do not want anything, I don't think. I am just upset about it all." He confides eventually, with a weary sigh.
