he had eyes like rain & hair like waves

"Killing does not come easy to me, no matter what I have become these days.": Remi says as he rubs his palm against the back of his neck. "But I do think the ascended have it worse." With a long sigh, Remi again regards the treetops and the dappled light that falls down upon them. "They will die if they lose this war. I am not sure what will become of our side, but the consequences are not so obvious. Not yet, at least."
Watching as Henry takes a seat, Remi folds his arms comfortably across his chest. The other man's question is a surprise, and though it brings a smile to the alchemist's lips, it isn't a happy one. "Oh, I did not choose Ludo." His smile falters by degrees. "It chose me. My first few encounters with it, it tried to kill me every time. It cursed me, too." Shifting to stand closer to Henry that he might lean against one of the nearby trees, the alchemist gives his head a soft shake. "One of my dearest friends died during LongNight. I risked everything to go after her, and when I found her dead...I begged for Ludo to help. It did, though not in the way I'd hoped." Putting Isla into the body of a unicorn and making her his companion was hardly saving the medic's life. "In return it asked of me one favour that I could not turn down. My becoming its demigod was that favour." Once there would have been anger in this retelling. Now, Remi just repeats this part of his history with a dull sort of acceptance. He'd done this to himself. He could have chosen death, instead of Ludo's bargain, but he hadn't.
He only had himself to blame.
