REMI

& now I'm all alone in the dark of night

"I think that was perhaps the bravest and most triumphant thing I have ever seen." The Lullaby replies, properly and appropriately awestruck. Leaning down, he softly presses his lips against each of the twins' head, though he doesn't quite kiss them. Instead he simply holds himself there, scenting them like an animal might. Which is in fact exactly what he's doing. It stirs something carnal in him, something deadly and undeniable that rises like stone to imprint these little lives forever inside of his mind.

Rising, he glances with a look of surprise having expected Hotaru to want this part for herself. Strange as it was to think after all of this, but he still felt as though they weren't his in some important respect, not that he could articulate why. "I...hmm.." Frowning to himself as he thinks, Remi recalls names he had heard as a boy. On the road many were named in the travelling tongue, and he was no exception. Many such names were tinged by those who held them, such as his father's. There were some though that still rang sweet in his mind, and it was those he offered now.

"For our daughter...maybe Chiara or Clara? Liana even...or Flora, perhaps? I knew an Alessia once, too.." Reaching out a hand again, he softly rubs the girl's back with one finger before glancing towards their son. "And for you? Perhaps Enzo or Luca...or Nico or Damian." The names sing from his lips, sounding like they were the approximation of music rather than names. Such was the language of the road.

The moon is shining but I can't see the light
