just a moment to hold

REMI

the lullaby

there's a light that you give me
when I'm in shadow

Surprised by this sudden change, Remi frowns and tilts his head as much as he can without upsetting the position Isla has fit herself in. "No." He replies immediately, shaking his head and feeling as though he needs to pick his words very carefully though not entirely knowing why. "I just said that I'd been with a woman and that I enjoyed it. That's all." Swallowing hard, Remi is reluctant to use his magic to pull out Isla's emotions, feeling suddenly like there's a wall between them that he shouldn't unfairly leap over.

"She...well, that is her job. But...well." Awkwardly Remi's brows furrow as he notices that he can now see the skin of his knee through his pants. Reaching down with his free hand, he tries to insert his fingers between hers. Blades or no, he'll risk amputation to hold her hand. "..yes. She was very aroused." Swallowing hard, Remi toes curl in his shoes, having no idea why or how he suddenly found himself in such deep water.

"Ronin and...Vai are the only ones who know everything. And even then, not everything everything." This is almost hesitantly said; Remi assuming that honesty was what Isla was after, but apparently not knowing when to shut up around her.
