Emmett noticed the blush on Amalia's cheeks and wondered if he'd gone too far, offended her. He'd never seen the baker with anyone...had she ever...? That was not an appropriate line of thought, he reminded himself, and cut himself off. Thankfully she recovered and when she spoke seemed relatively calm, once again kind and understanding.
"Yeah, they are. And....I wanna like him. Cos he's Bee's friend 'n' all. But he made it real hard after he came up to me like tha'. Hasn' even met me and decided he's gonna be all judgy. I heard he's got his own issues." Admittedly Emmett was mostly bluffing here, working from a few snippets of gossip and the sight of Remi with several different people who he may or may not have been romantically involved with. But he was grumpy, and did not want to see him in a good light.
"...I dunno. Everythin' with the Spire...it made it all a lil harder. I still don' know how I feel about Outlanders.." He sighed, shrugged.

There's a saying where I come from
Playing 'round with fire gets you burned
Well, I'll wear my third degrees
And my heart upon my sleeve
