the lullaby
Love isn't all that it seems
I did you wrong
I did you wrong
"Me?" Now it's Remi's turn to look indignant and upset. "You would have chosen us over leaving my family alone when you inevitably killed me? Because having the Voice in your head in Stormbreak is one thing. But during the war?" Hissing in a breath, the Lullaby tilts his chin to the side, disbelief wrinkling his brow. "I never said it was a good choice, did I? Just that it was the one to make given the other options."
His attempt at humour dies immediately (no real surprise there), and he shakes his head. "No, I do not." Remi agrees, shaking his head. "But not everything is my fault." He adds, as his right-hand flexes slightly in a crawling-Thing gesture. Before it can communicate whatever it wants to, Isla is trying to send him off.
At first, the Lullaby has absolutely no indecision about what to do. If she wants him to leave, then he'll fucking make like a tree. But gods, he's fairly certain that's not want she wants, but the love for her just isn't there to make him sympathetic to the hurt she's going through. You loved her once, so much so you nearly gave up your life for it. He tries to remind himself as he stands silently and watches her hold her breath.
"Okay." He decides after a moment. "I know I would not have wanted to see you like this, and...I know you think I made the wrong choice, and maybe it was selfish of me, but at the time I really did think it was the best thing for us." Remi says slowly, and softly. "Know that I had someone I loved once forget me without giving me a say in it, so when I did this to us, I did have an idea of the cost, and still did it." Swallowing hard, the Lullaby frowns sadly.
Isla was right though, his being there wasn't helping anyone.
Wishing he could have at least said, good to see you again, the Lullaby nods something to himself as he turns. "Goodbye, Isla."

I'll stay here with you
