Love mends even the broken parts
”No. But I bet you haven’t either. I’ve at least read about them.” The Launceleyn wasn’t going to let the alchemist’s skepticism get the best of the summoner. At Remi’s next statement, Loren just grinned. ”I’m mean now, remember?” Surely that little fact hadn’t slipped the other man’s mind already. However, it seemed the Launceleyn wasn’t anywhere near as mean as the alchemist was: vines grew, and both grappled and tickled the summoner. He didn’t laugh even though he was ticklish, because tickle torture was the least of the tortures he’d endured.
Still, a few amused grunts escaped and before too long he gave up. ”Alright, alright you win! You are the superior predator.” Hopefully that would be enough to get Remi to release Loren so they could actually make their meal. It worked, and they passed the time, keeping the banter flowing as best they could in spite of the coming darkness. And when they said goodbye, the summoner did his best not to feel as if it was final.
