Patting myself on the back for this emotional line

"Sebastien was already damaged goods. If he could protect them from their monstrous sides by becoming the monster he already believed he was then it might be worth it." - Seb all protective of the little ones innocence

Eyes closed, he breathed in and out slowly. The summer air had a faint scent of damp moss mixed with something else. Something familiar and comforting and he knew. He’d know that smell anyway; a salty sea breeze floating in where it didn’t belong. Eyes fluttered open before he could even say a word. They moved through the corridor until they landed on him. The sight of him was the true coming home for Sebastien. Seeing Remy standing there was like suddenly being wrapped in a warm blanket. Sebastien felt the warmth bubble in the pit of his stomach where there was usually a dark, cold, and uncomfortable lump. He swallowed as Remy started rambling about something. It didn’t matter what he was rambling about. Sebastien didn’t care. The sound of his voice brought him back to warm days at the ocean, the song of the sea, that was Remy. A calm, soothing sea that Sebastien longed to drown in.

-- Just this entire paragraph because dangit! If you can't figure out why, Sebastien, you really are so stupid!!!!

"...but she was going to hold off on finding it funny until she was sure he wasn't about to keel over. Not that he was standing to begin with. This was why Zara didn't like metaphors."

"Looking at Corvus, she couldn't tell if she liked this brat or not. He was irritating, but endearing? Honestly, he kind of reminded her of her cat with that attitude. Maybe it was why she wasn't super annoyed at him. Or, at least, she didn't feel like punching him, yet."
