"No, don't—" Remi tries to protest, but of course Ronin isn't actually going anywhere which fills the alchemist with a warm sense of relief. Spreading out the blanket like wings to drape around Ronin's shoulders, the alchemist shrugs a touch childishly in a gesture that very much says no, he doesn't want to talk about it, but that he will.

"I feel..." Pausing, Remi noses toward the chairs arranged around a small wooden table that the pair might sit instead of just standing against one another in their kitchen. "..it sounds so silly to say. I think I feel jealous. Or at least I did." The alchemist admits. "The whole time we were away in the desert I felt like the odd one out. It was you and Sunjata, and then me on my own. And after everything that happened before I think I read into things too much or make more of them than I should, but.." But he was unable to help how it made him feel.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be like this." He adds softly, his frown turning apologetic and then disappointed.

when everything's meant to be broken,
i just want you to know who I am
