REMI

"Taking a corner is always the most important." Remi explains, nodding to where both of their shells were edging toward the corner of the board. "Because once you do that, you always have an anchor. Taking all four corners almost always assures a win." He adds with a shrug; not always, but certainly at the most unskilled level of the game, it was akin to taking out a queen in chess.

Flipping and placing shells in companionable silence, the attuned bond let both demigods communicate in minute and subtle ways, such that just before the Tidebreaker mentioned Ray's name, Remi was already glancing up through his curls, a soft furrow creasing into his brow. "I have not," Apologetically said, the Bastion winced before turning over a number of shells. "Despite being what I am, I am not entirely sure how it works on the other side, though I have found...if you ask them to speak to you, or ask them something in particular, it's much easier for them to answer." While there was often a hum of voices in the back of the Bastion's mind, rarely did they solidify into clear sentences with an obvious recipient.

"I try not to...eavesdrop, as it were." Wincing a touch at the phrasing, he can only shoot Hadama a crooked smile, unsure quite how to explain the phenomenon of hearing voices meant for others.
