like you know what it means

i found cynicism, i found criticism
i've been zero to hero & i have been the villain

Watching Loren out of the corner of his eye, Remi similarly turned to face the summoner. His affect was nearly identical, though perhaps less tired. The alchemist was used to seeing Loren empty and devoid of life; it had come to be expected of him, almost like a uniform. "Not even the latter seeing as I've forgotten months of knowing you." But it didn't matter; there wasn't a name for what he and Loren were to each other.

Nodding but not offering platitudes or words of encouragement, Remi merely studied Loren's profile for a moment before exhaling a long breath. "Amazing how just a few months can change everything." Loren had only known Abasi for..a season and a half? But Remi wasn't so cruel to think that wasn't enough. Mere days—hours even—were enough to change a life when love was involved. "Did you love him?" He asked, still softly watching the side of Loren's face; the pale hair there, the way his cheeks were hollow rather than full. The lack of laugh lines.
