ISLA
She can't help the way that makes her smile, Isla nudging him a bit and leaning in again to hug him. "Well, if I ever randomly start to let my hands wander up your inner thigh, you'll know that you ought to shove me away," she murmurs. Her trepidation won't be quelled entirely, but it's enough for her to drop the issue. For now, at least. That being said, however, she does furrow her brow to hear how lightheartedly he is taking the things that have been tearing her up since she heard them.
"You know why, Remi. Please be serious about this," she mumbles. "I think it would be safer if we found another place to see each other. Somewhere away from the Grounds and the Greatwood." Torchline or Halo are the obvious options, but they could always try somewhere further afield.
Isla holds his gaze, peering up at him to hear his reasons, her hands pressing against his chest. "Was he sworn to secrecy, then?" she wonders, before shaking her head. "It doesn't change anything, either way. I know, and I'm sorry that it's made your life so complicated. And I understand, now that you've had a chance to explain."
