ISLA
Isla wishes she could feel as reassured as Remi obviously wants her to be. But she isn't so sure - of course Ronin and Vai could heal, but would they be available and conveniently asleep for him to be able to travel to them? Would his body wait, bleeding out and sleeping, while he meandered through the dream world? She doesn't think so. "It's more than that, besides," she mumbles, shaking her head. "Wessex has worked with the Voice to keep members of the Order out of the Hollowed Grounds. They are going to do the same for you."
Her eyes drop towards the floor, the wordless and I can't stop them going unsaid. Giving him a gentle squeeze to hear what Isla had already known - that Remi didn't want more children - she is surprised by the sudden lance of hatred that rages through his voice, through the way his body stiffens. "He didn't... it wasn't to spite you, I don't think?" Gazing up at him, Isla tilts her head a bit. "...Why did you tell him before you told me, if you didn't want me to find out by accident?"
