Vai shouldn’t be surprised to hear Remi speak so candidly, and by the way her cheeks flush with delight, it’s a very welcomed gesture. ”I love you too,” she offers back easily, a finger drawing patterns on the condensation that lines her glass. ”And I’m proud of you. For all you’ve been through, you’ve become quite the young man.” The witch grins, settling in again to listen as talk turns to his impending retirement.
She lets out a thoughtful sigh, leaning back in her seat. ”Sunjata has a habit of getting himself into an awful lot of trouble,” she says honestly. ”I’d be worried if he ended up out of commission over something silly, and Torchline suffered for it.” Rolling her shoulders, Vai grins. ”Then again, with the right council around him I also think he’d be a great governor. He and Zeph have been getting along better. I don’t know whether Zeph wants all the responsibility of governing, but I imagine he could be persuaded to help out. I’ll do my best, too.”
