The alchemist grinned slightly and shook his head. "I have been told I have nice handwriting as well. I am sure you would manage." He replied with a good-natured smile. Taking the quill, he wrote her name in a beautiful flourish before handing it back to her. The handwriting in his notebook looked like chicken-scratch compared to this, but of course what he wrote in that book was mostly meant for his eyes only. No one else needed to be able to read it.

Despite the honeyed words dripping from her lips, Remi regarded her as neutrally as ever. "I do not ... again, I would want to clarify what we need to do but...I do not want to risk another encounter. Nor should you." He added, waggling a finger in her direction and giving her a pointed look. REMI I forgot what it was like, to think I found you finding me
