when safe isn't

right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up

Kissing Ronin hard enough to try and encourage him onto his back, Remi tugs at the furs until they're around his shoulders. Nestling into the crook of Ronin's arm and letting his fingertips splay across Ronin's chest, the alchemist can distinctly detect the scent of snow as it begins to fall silently outside the guildhall. It makes the roar of the fire and the leathery warmth of the chairs around them seem all the more cozy, and has Remi thinking similar thoughts about staying in this dreamworld longer than they should.

Humming along at appropriate intervals, the relief that shivers out of Remi causes the fire behind them to stutter as if a gust of wind had just roared towards the hearth. "I..was not going to ask." He admits, clearly pleased to hear that it hadn't been a welcoming pair of spread legs that had been the cause of Ronin's abrupt change of heart.

Reaching out as if to accept a tangible pass, Remi mimes tearing it up, before blowing it away into the fire. Returning his arms around Ronin, the alchemist smiles with a stupidly joyful sort of contentment. 'The skyboat is almost done. Perhaps when it is..we could sail to Halo, and teach Mateo how to skate."
