'Oh, well. There is no need to lie.' Remi replies, feeling shaky laughter bubbling out of his lips before he even has a chance to register his amusement. "You were only the second man I had ever been with, and even then..." Laughing still, Remi shakes his head, nuzzling his cheek against Ronin's only to grumble with companionable frustration as the Huntsman wisely rises. 'We could have just pretended you were sitting on my lap and covered us with the blanket.' Remi complains, though he too is wiping his hands and shimmying his pants back up around his hips (sans tentacles, now).

Stretching out an arm that felt shockingly heavy, Remi leans against Ronin in return. "This is really what true love is, isn't it." Said quietly, for a moment the alchemist just marvels at the truth of what he's just said. As the luxere jingles on before them and sensation returns to his fingers, Remi is both humbled as he is thrown by what feels like a shocking realization, even though of course it isn't.
