Isla
Her shoulders relax to hear he'd like to start over, Isla's smile coming a little easier, and she steps forward as well as if to close the distance between them. But there's some explaining to do first, and she shakes her head to him, mildly horrified to think that he believed any of it was his doing or his fault. "No, no-- it's nothing like that. Come on, I'll make us a drink." Not tea, this time. It won't make a difference, the fact that it's liquor, but it feels like it will and that's the point.
As she leads him out into the kitchen, she tries to summarise it as best she can. Coming to Caido, LongNight and her death, Remi bringing her back and exactly what that entailed. It's here that she falters a bit, taking a long breath. "I think I know him better than I know myself because of that," she says slowly. "It's... hard to explain, that kind of bond. There's nothing and nowhere to hide." Her smile grows sad. "It's why I didn't blame him for killing me, the second time."
Isla continues, then - the Festival of Lights, returning with the other Ascended, the start of her physical relationship with Remi. "It hurt him, that I hadn't told him about us," she explains. "Because even though he's married, even though he and I weren't... I guess we weren't not. Not until you. But... yeah. It's... yeah. A lot."
Smiling weakly, she offers out a glass of whiskey to him.

passing by, you light up my darkest skies
you take only seconds to draw me in
you take only seconds to draw me in
