A rogue at heart and in life, Jack has been dodging trouble and rewriting Torchline’s rules for as long as most can remember. Though his slight, rugged exterior might seem easy to overlook in the crowded alleys of Haulani, a sharper look reveals a man as dangerous as he is enigmatic. With an infamous reputation and razor-sharp wit, matched with eyes that see and say more than most can handle, Jack's real weapon lies not in his stance but in his piercing blue gaze—and a telepathic edge no one knows about. Recent endeavours—like romancing Torchline's queen and trading favours for children with Safrin—show that while Jack may lack a conventional moral compass, he’s bound only by his own ambitions.
Congratulations, Jack!

"We're going to live in the Woods, just like we always planned to." Remi's words are softly spoken, falling onto the rocks upon which he sits. The roar of the ocean seems to steal the things he says, tugging them away with the tide, but the alchemist doesn't seem to mind. Aoife will hear him, regardless. 'I think you would have liked it here better. With the sea so close and the stars above. In the Greatwood there is just the Stonesong, and the canopy of leaves overhead can hide the sky." He adds softly.
Sitting at the base of the lighthouse on the large stones that slowly give way to the sea below, Remi places small white flowers over a particular crevice in the rocks. A sea breeze tugs at his curls and pulls at his shirt, but he ignores it. Placing his fingers upon the stone, Remi closes his eyes as the idea of tears begins to pulse in the back of his mind. Its been years since Aoife died, and while most days he's able to carry on with only a handful of thoughts of her, on days like today he feels weighed down by guilt and loss.

my heart turns as if a tide. let anything happen, it says wash me on the stones, curl me from the edge, cut me from the bone
Tides move in, water splatters on the rocks, and her breath moves in with it. Powerful lungs expel their heat as the waves recede, and again. Seabirds mill about as they always have, but now her attention pulls with predatory inclination each time their wings ruffle. Still she ignores them. For the most part.
Cats have acute senses, it's true, and hearing is their best. So when the soft resonance of a voice drifts in on the breeze, surprise makes her stop in her tracks. Her ears swivel to take in each somber note and tender sentiment meant only for someone he once loved, and has now lost.
It feels like an intrusion but, Aurelia draws nearer. A cat's curiosity is its own downfall, or however that saying goes. With fiery-colored fur that sticks out and steps that are meant to give away her presence, she comes up behind the man sitting on the rocks with no intention of being unnoticed.
Her gaze lingers on the mess of curls that capture his features, something unreadable in her gaze. Abruptly, she steps up beside him to take a seat. As if she belongs here in this moment. She offers him a quiet, calm stare.
Who are you talking to? Her empathetic voice searches for purchase in a bond that she isn't sure is there. Worth a shot?

Just as Aurelia was intending not to go unnoticed, Remi was intending not to notice her just the same. The presence of another large cat was enough to irk his predatory senses, but any hackles he might have raised were soothed by the thoughts of Aoife that swam brightly behind his eyes. Even so, when the fiery feline took a seat, Remi couldn't help the slightly disparaged sigh that pushes past his lips.
My daughter is buried here. Beneath these stones. Remi explains with a glance toward Aurelia, before his sea-glass stare returns to the flowers and the rocks. His mental voice is even more thickly accented than his speaking voice is, but even so, mind-to-mind telepathy typically made it so that others understood him well enough. Not recognizing Aurelia's voice or her shift, he takes a moment to shake himself out of the fragile melancholy that visiting Aoife's grave always brought, to bring himself back into the moment.
I..do not believe we have met.

She cannot sense his ire at her presence, or the form of it she has taken at least. That it makes him a bit nervous, or whatever it might be called, would only make her feel more confident anyway. But the sigh; she does notice it, and even one of her ears flicks to punctuate it.
Her gaze moves down towards the rocks and the flowers, alongside his. Understanding makes itself evident. I didn't know there were graves here... she murmurs thoughtfully. Well, there could be graves anywhere. That Remi's daughter is buried here, though? It gives her pause.
She shifts almost uncomfortably and her eyelids flinch into a blink. No, we haven't, she confirms, and a sigh can be heard even in her mental voice, though perhaps we should've a while ago. My name is Aurelia, she tells him, lifting her gaze to look at his face again, and you're Remi..? She's pretty sure he is, but still there's a question in her voice.

I think just hers. He notes with an easy shrug. To his knowledge, no one else is buried here. But then, it has been a while since he's been here in particular. Perhaps others have been added. But that's alright, Remi is quite sure Aoife wouldn't mind the company.
Raising a brow slightly at the should've, Remi tilts his head wondering what the context of it is. Her name indeed rings a bell, especially with all that has happened as of late, and it has the alchemist nodding his understand. Oh, Aurelia. Yes, Ronin has mentioned you. As for being Remi? He can only smile somewhat sadly and nod. Congratulations, by the way. News travels fast of course, and especially as it relates to Sunjata or Torchline, Remi (via Ronin) usually hears of it quite quickly. I am not sure a god has ever directly named a ruler before. That is quite the thing. What sort of thing he doesn't say, though through the bond he doesn't at all try to hide is dislike of Safrin.
