[God Quest] goodbye road

REMI

"If you are the strongest, everyone is weak by default." Remi points out, remembering well a time years and years ago now, that he had lashed out at Ludo. That was likely his one free shot, and for all his stupidity, even Remi wouldn't risk another attack on the herald. "Would you have me wait until my strength was equally matched?" Or to take the easy and near-certain victory, should he act now? He could kill Nate, this he knew. And Wessex? That his attacks seemed to rebound was a difficulty he could still overcome. The Queen wasn't much of a threat of her mind was locked in a dream. Or..whatever it was ascended did.

Stilling slightly as Ludo's fingers come to brush against his cheek, Remi peers into the dark eyes so near his own. "I am not sure." He replies evenly and honestly. What had stayed his hands? It wasn't mercy. It certainly wasn't fear. It was just the unknown; unable to see the ramifications of his actions, Remi had, for once, chosen the patient path. "Ronin thinks that it will be me who starts this war." Narrowing his eyes to try and understand, he shakes his head ever so slightly. "And what way is that? My tasks in the Greatwood are nearly complete. The Mathair will be returned shortly, and then..?" A loose canon is one without direction. And I have now used up all my instructions, he thinks.

honest feelings and bad timing
make the most painful combination.
