i don't mind compassion
Yeah he might be projecting a bit. It's also just a sore point for him. He knows what it's like to be treated as less than human. It only happened one but like hell was he going to let Maeve be treated that way. He just sighs, shaking his head. He knows Remi didn't say that, nor did he mean what he did say that way. Locke is just defensive, that's all. And maybe a little guilty. And scared. He brushes it off, waving his hand, done with the topic. Remi can think what he wants about what kind of business Maeve will or won't get. His relationship is none of Remi's business anyway.
"It's called sarcasm, Remi, haven't you heard of it? Even I'm not that stupid." There isn't an ounce amusement to his voice. Whatever flirtatiousness he'd had before is quickly gone. Locke lays out his cards, nothing too crazy. A flush. All he has to see is if Remi's hand is better or worse. His odds are good but that doesn't mean much in a game like this.
