Samuel
Hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
Remi's answer was many things, but it was indeed honest. Sam wasn't sure if he found it comforting or not, that Remi could not truly stand on one side or the other. If he had sworn loyalty to the Old Gods, Sam would have at least known to avoid him; that he was split on the issue showed intelligence and nuance, but also made it harder to know what to do.Prepare for the worst
No one had ever asked him the question from the other way around, but he knew he wouldn't be able to hurt non-Ascended simply for who they were, if it came to that. "Well...thank you for not being eager to murder us. Unfortunately that's...not an uncommon thing, I'm finding."
With that said, Remi had a baby to get to and Sam had a lot to think about, a shop and a life to rebuild. He bid the man farewell, unsure when the next time they would see each other would be, but hoping it would be under nicer circumstances than this.
