oh but that's the irony: broken people are not fragile
The edge to Ronin's laugh, the threat of yet more tears, has Remi's chest tightening and yet his eyes remain problematically dry. Maybe it's just the bloodless. 'Oh.' Remi remarks, of Noah's role in the Order, and the compass. 'No, you go. I will fall asleep and come to you.' Something about that seemed safer. As if should anything go wrong, that Remi ought to be the one left out in the cold.
Had Remi's magic not been what it was, he'd have tried harder to keep Ronin's fingers in his. Knowing what it was to be subjected to someone else's emotions though, the Lullaby spreads his fingers that Ronin might escape his touch. Pinpricks of tears grate at the back of his eyes as the alchemist looks down at his empty hand, nodding something silently to himself. "It was important to get the relic.." He reasons. "And..if the ascended were going to outright attack us..." Quite when Remi had become a man who was so convinced the ends justified the means such that he thought of his own life so carelessly, he didn't know.
"If Neron..or Wessex or whoever it was, had killed Noah, or you, there is nothing that could have stopped me. So why wait until they have actually done it, if they have already made the first attack?"

The Lullaby
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
