right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up
& right now all your dreams are waking up
The alchemist offers a non-commit all noise in response, soaking up the touches on offer. A few months. “Mateo will still just be a boy.” He murmurs softly. Whatever restraint Remi might be able to show, their son would still be an innocent in all of this, unable to defend himself or properly understand what was happening. Whether that was a reason to prolong things as much as possible, or permission to simply go ahead, even Remi couldn’t decide.
Pulling back, but only so that he might be able to properly regard Ronin, Remi gives the Star a long and curious stare. “Do...do you really think it will be me?” There’s no anger or accusation in the question. Who, if not Ronin, could make such a prediction about what Remi might do? Once upon a time it would have been a ludicrous thing to suggest that Remi would ever be capable of inciting a war. Now though? Gods, it would be so easy. Things with Isla could do it. With Varus. With Sam. With Nate. With any of them, if they found the right buttons to push. And these days, Remi’s wore his buttons on his sleeve more than he wore his heart.
“With Safrin, you mean?”

The Lullaby
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
