reaching out across the sea

REMI

the alchemist

there's a feeling i get when i look to the west,
& my spirit is crying for leaving.

"Speaking of..my friend Phoebe has a crown that makes childbirth painless. Pleasurable, even...I think." Obviously having never used it, he couldn't attest to that part. But especially as Frey's demigoddess now, surely the Nightengale would be able to help with Hotaru's birth moreso than a normal midwife would.

Lowering his head like some unicorn enchanted by the appearance of a virgin, Remi tilts his head slightly to the side now that it's adorned with flowers. 'And? How do I look?' He wonders, flashing her his most dashing smile.

Remi's laugh goes from abrupt and approving, to something sweet and sad as Hotaru asks about his mother. Glancing over his shoulder, far away in the meadow appears an olive-skinned woman with long dark curls. She waves over her shoulder, before plucking herbs and placing them in the basket she carries. "Milia." He whispers, gazing at her across the distance. Strange, that she doesn't come any closer. Or perhaps that's exactly what is to be expected from a man remembering the first woman he'd ever loved.

in my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
& the voices of those who stand looking.
