"...I suppose as long as he isn't doing it anymore." Sam replied, his voice somewhere between amused and mortified; if Remi felt safe he was sure it would be alright, but he couldn't help the raised hackles in him at the idea of Ronin trying to hurt his friend.
He laughed at the idea of moving 'on and up'. "Oh, hush. You are one of the most talented people I have ever known. You make so much, and you can be a bird, a lion, a raccoon!" Not that those were qualities he particularly desired in a partner, but they still made Remi an impressive enough date in his own right. "I...am happy. For the moment; I think it will take me a while to believe it's all true."
Sam sat up, taking a deep breath and holding his own arms tight. He looked towards the door to his borrowed bedroom; he would have to go and see Nate soon, in case the man had woken and was looking for him. But there was one more thing on his mind. "Remi...with Longnight coming up...I don't remember much of last year, but I do remember that you were continuously throwing yourself into danger. Can you try and promise me you'll be more careful this year? I...I know you can't resist helping people, but...just...too many of us depend on you."
