Remi

Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains
Welcome to the war, we've only begun

"...why?" Remi wonders, not privy to this helpful bit of explanation. "Midwinter seems an utter shit time to celebrate." He adds, thinking that perhaps Ronin had just plucked the time of year out of a hat.

Rather than kicking Ronin, Remi just shakes his head. "Learning more about them will not help me." He says, shrugging one shoulder. "Besides, if it was of any interest I bet Isla would already have looked it up and mentioned it." Remi could count on Isla for that, or...at least he thought he could. Were he ever to become aware of the things the doctor knew and kept from him, he might rethink just how open their relationship was, but never mind.

"Listen,' Remi snarks back with a sudden burst of amusement. "You need to go download one of those breathing apps. Even before I was this, I could hold my breath for a lot longer than you." And who knows, maybe Ronin would learn he had some sort of cardiovascular issue. "Yeah well, they take what they have for granted." The wendigo adds soberly. "Stick them in a pretty pink room like mine and I can promise you they would put in a bit more effort."

Higher and higher you chase it
