"That sounds good. Next-next week." He agrees in a stage whisper, just in case there is actually anyone around to hear.

Huffing, the alchemist pinches his brows together and frowns down at his friend. "Weird? And here I thought I was being quite clever." He really had, actually, though of course Isla's suggestion of just happening to find themselves in the same place at the same time was definitely more elegant.

Reaching out to tug the Remedy into a hug before shifting, Remi chews on words he can't quite articulate, before sighing out his feelings instead. Strongest amidst the general confusion of Remi's emotions was simple gratitude and joy for having been able to spend the afternoon with his friend.

Releasing her reluctantly, the alchemist steps back enough that he might shift without knocking into Isla. Leaning down one shoulder and giving her a companionable growl, Remi lets Isla down right on the border between the Hollowed Grounds and the Greatwood, where they could both easily argue that the other hadn't broken any rules.

I'll stay here with you
Until this dream is gone

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
