say goodbye to who i was

“Oliver.” The name gets filed away as he focuses on the man before him. The questions, however, the man can’t answer – so instead, he focuses the best he can on Remi and his own explanation. And Sunjata finds it rather lucky that he does remember everything, in the end. He doesn’t know what he would do if he happened to lose the memories of his past – probably likely doomed to repeat the worst parts of his history.

But he listens to Remi’s explanation briefly before the alchemist calls forth the unicorn that had tried to heal his own wounds when he’d realized he was blighted. He doesn’t hold it against the unicorn, but his mind flashes back to Phoebe for a brief moment and his lips form a tight line, hands rubbing against one another beneath lowered sleeves.

He shoots a quick glance toward Remi before falling on Oliver again. “Should probably take you somewhere that there’s a fire to warm you up, too. Get your bearings back.” He suggests, glancing toward Remi again – not really wanting to put him in that position, but he doesn’t really have any options himself unless he chose to break into someone’s home and occupy it.
