While Remnii's smile did not die on her face, it still waned. It eventually faded into a thoughtful, and increasingly exhausted, expression. On her own, this time not following Arthak's gaze, she too looked up to M'uru.
A beat of silence hovered between them as Remnii calculated her words.
"Well..." Remnii started slow. "Truthfully, I have not slept well in many yearrs." She offered a humorless laugh. Her fingers etched over the railing once more, this time with greater frequency.
Another moment of silence passed, Remnii's fist clenched.
"Now, I believe the cause is..." She kept her gaze trained on the Naaru hovering above both of them, she took a shallow breath. "It has not been easy, Arrthak. To send a dearr friend to his cerrtain demise... being asked to do such a thing. I hearr acceptance in his voice, M'uru sees many things that I cannot... as such he has asked forr my acceptance, too."
Remnii inhaled, shakily. Her free hand clenched and she looked further to the sky. "I will, Arrthak. I will see out his rrequests. I fearr for him..."
The cadence of Remnii's words fell quiet for a third time, words failing on the tip of her tongue. Instead, she kept her head aloft and couldn't quite put a pin on why it was so hard to speak.
