SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
At first Remi's answer only confirmed for Sam that the Alchemist had indeed been the one to blame for Isla's death and he felt rage and disgust towards his calm demeanour, the way he had so casually declared it - though a moment later he was having a conflicting thought, one that actually considered the man's words. Set her free. As they stood and watched Isla slowly drift out onto the waves, he eventually said only one more thing on it, swallowing the outrage: "...I hope she's happier."
He had to admit, he hadn't seen much of Isla in the unicorn for a long time now. Maybe it was better to say goodbye to their friend properly, even if it tore at his heart to watch the shape sink into the waves; at the last second he looked away.
Finding himself laughing dryly he shook his head when Remi mentioned Loren. "I'm not looking for him. I was hoping to avoid him, actually. I was...glad when you told him to leave, though you did startle everyone." Not that he was angry with the Launceleyn, but seeing him at the moment twisted like a thorn against his ribs.
It felt bizarre, to suddenly be dropped in this scene, talking almost casually to Remi after their last meetings, watching the last remnants of Isla drift out into the ocean..but he'd come to expect the unexpected in the last year, and felt more resigned to it than anything else. "...I wanted to walk somewhere a little different. I've found that the Grounds contains a lot of ghosts recently." Something Remi might understand, he thought.
