"You are welcome," Mort whispers in return, his smile radiant as the sunlight pouring over them. He knows, of course, what this will mean for Remi, the wounds that might finally heal for good, the heart that might finally creak open its doors again. And of course, he will be watching from afar.
Following Remi's gaze downwards and laughing exuberantly to see the spirit's input, Mort gathers his hand up towards his lips. Blowing gently on the back of his palm, the spirit that has mischievously inhabited Remi's hand for so long dazzles forth, golden and warm, before dissipating up into the sky overhead.
"All done." He grins. "Now, promise me that you will be gentle with yourself when you awaken, yes? You have been through this once with Ludo - do not be alarmed by the changes you have undergone."
