Remi's observation about the painting was touchingly genuine, something Bastien tried to remember well so he could write it down later. He showed his gratitude for the comment with a warm smile. Perhaps Remi did not consider himself a man of wit, but Bastien thought his friend very clever in his way of seeing things (especially when that way involved compliments). BASTIEN

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Remi listened with the fascinated expression of someone hearing a fairy tale. You just did what you wanted to do? Not in Northaven; not for someone like Remi. The mention of pursing something loved made Remi's smile crinkle sadly at the corners before he shrugged off the emotion with an ambiguous nod of his head. The alchemist had to keep reminding himself that this was not Northaven. He'd not make any judgements about whether or not things had been misconstrued back at home—it didn't matter now anyways—but merely set his sights on the here and now. "I have never lived my life like that, but perhaps here I will. Or at least, I can try." Shrugging slightly Remi wandered another few feet grabbing various herbs as he went and occasionally lifting them to his nose to smell. "Perhaps if you do learn from about this Safrin I might ask to meet her. Perhaps not to have her change what has been done to me—" Even now Remi was still far too subservient to ever believe a god would care about his plights. "—but to learn more about her and her ... kind? If they can be called such?"

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Though Remi was a scientist of sorts when it came to the nomenclature of gods he was entirely at a loss. So instead he merely shrugged at Bastien's suggestion that they were a race unto themselves. Even so, the flaw in the man's logic seemed obvious. "I...but if they are a race, then it would seem no? After all, simply because one tends to a horse, one does not become one? We would all have to be the same race now, and I do not know about you—" With a chuckle, Remi raised his hands and flexed them for a moment as he gazed up at Bastien. "—I have never felt less like a god." "Ahh." The alchemist said with an awkward shrug, brushing away the compliment. "It is merely a matter of experience. Just as you are able to see art and beauty in the world where I cannot, I can name the uses and qualities of various things. It is not so different. If anything you are the more impressive one, for I do not believe artistry can truly be taught. I used to be friends with a painter .. and the things she could see, I could not even hope to imagine." Then again, Delphine had had synesthesia which lent itself well to her artistic abilities. But even so.

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Fit? Remi had always had possessed a rather slim sort of build. It was only over the last few months of working with his hands and assisting with a variety of strange tasks back in Northaven that his body had begun to transform into something more athletic. He'd never be bulky with muscle to be sure, but now he was covered with lean definition in a way that he'd never really noticed. Mirrors weren't in large supply and given his decided lack of intimacy as of late, it wasn't as though he'd had any commentary from anyone else. Rather shyly and awkwardly Remi looked away, considering the bark of a tree quite carefully as he felt his cheeks pulse with heat. "The land I came from did not have gods.." Remi said as gently as he could, trying to still the waver in his voice as he hazarded a glance back towards Bastien, pale sea-glass green eyes slightly wary. " And yet you and I look as though we were created in a fairly similar image? And so without a divine template, from what was I based off of?" Already these waters were far too metaphysical and he was sure Bastien could drown out his logic if the artist tried.

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Remi felt the way that others must when he tried to explain complex spacial reasoning problems. In his mind Remi simply saw the way things fit together—physically anyways—and was often at a loss as to how to explain the physical world to those who didn't have the immediate comprehension that he seemed too. Similarly Bastien seemed to just so easily pull at the threads of what Remi had suggested, unraveling his notions and ideas like a parent speaking to a child. Rather than being put off by this though, Remi perked up, pale eyes wide with fascination as he tried to follow the musically-cadenced words leaving his friends lips. "I suppose that is true. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." The alchemist said with a studious nod. As for the idea that not only was there one hidden god, but perhaps many? With one ultimate creature? It was a bit much for Remi's rather scientific mind to even imagine. "I...I cannot say. I had never even considered it before coming here. Though...Frey was unlike anything I have ever seen. They...they were indescribable, and I do mean that literally. Though they appeared naked I am quite sure that I could not describe even remotely what it was they looked like." It was difficult to put into the words the kaleidoscope of features that the deity seemed to possess, and so Remi merely shook his head to indicate his inability to offer more. "And Ludo...It wore a mask and ... fabric that seemed to possess life of its own. If they had an image, I am quite sure we bear no likeness. But your Safrin ... you painted her? And she looked as we do?" Just as Remi was about to applaud the notion of Bastien being a king, the mention that the two of them were married followed so swiftly by the notion that they might equally hate each other caught the alchemist quite mentally off balance. Running a hand from the nape of his neck forward through his curls, Remi laughed helplessly as he shook his head with awestruck confusion. "Do you really think so?" He asked in earnest. It was one thing to suggest that were Remi's life slightly different he might have ended up on a slightly different path, but his lack of any sort of education resulted in his inability to comprehend the sort of metaphysical branching that the artist was trying to suggest. "I have never heard of them, but then, people like me did not receive an education where I come from." Though the alchemist was rarely anything but honest, still his words were tinged with a hint of embarrassment. Especially after so much time spent with Loren who'd had the finest tutors—and was a duke of course—the fact that all Remi knew had been taught to himself had never escaped him.

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along "I can assure you I was not under the influence of anything..other than the deities themselves." Remi murmured, unsure if his friend was merely making a joke or actually criticizing his judgement. Remi listened and nodded. Originally his idea of the gods was like how Bastien was describing them: humanlike but somehow more. Though what Ludo and Frey were was more to be sure. He just wasn't sure that there was any humanity in them at all. The alchemist tried to offer an agreeable smile, but he was fairly sure that Bastien's final words were merely to reassure him. It was only with the luxury of having both a proper education and the school of life that one could confidentially say Remi was fine with one but not the other. Having only one though .. The alchemist had always done what he could to better himself, but as the poor son of a thieving merchant who was constantly on the road, the chances for the boy to ever have the chance to grasp more than the bare minimum for survival was not very often. Even as an adult he was probably woefully lacking. It was only because there was no one else really in his field that he'd never really encountered the full depths of his own ignorance. "Well. This world is certainly a knew one, I think I can say that for sure though ... perhaps in the same sky?" Remi didn't have the vocabulary to talk about galaxies or solar systems as such had not been a priority from whence he came. "I have been looking at the stars and they appear to be entirely knew. And yet the moon and sun appear the same?" So perhaps Bastien's notion of there being multiple worlds was indeed true.

![]() Remi Abruzzo & all we are is skin and bone trained to get along Though Remi had never heard of Orion's Belt, based on context he could only assume it was the name of a constellation from Bastien's world. The idea that fashion was somehow a part of the night sky in the land the artist came from was a bit strange, but Remi merely smiled at the mental image it conjured. However as he asked about a telescope, Remi bit down on the inside of his lip and turned his gaze away slightly. Taking a breath the alchemist nodded slowly. "One I have been working on, yes." He admitted, though the melodic cadence of his voice was now decidedly more somber. A telescope was one of the things he'd been working on in secret with Loren. Most of their work had to be focused on that which would help the Settlement as a whole, but in their spare hours they'd been working on different lenses to try and get the optical portion of the device perfect. Even without his feelings for the Launceleyn, that abandoned project made something inside of Remi curl in on itself and wither sadly. "I would be happy to show you." He added after a moment, his openly expectant smile resurfacing slowly. "Mm?" The alchemist hummed thoughtfully looking down into his basket. Twitching his lips slightly as he looked down at their assortment, considering thoughtfully. "If I say yes it just means you will have to come back sooner if you use up your supply of blue as quickly as last time." Then again if this goddess of Bastien's did have the starry aesthetic the man had described, that wasn't so surprising. "But you are right. Conservation is important." Remi added with a chuckle, tucking his notebook into his basket.
