Sometimes love is a feather

sometimes love is all that can save us, sometimes love can kill a man

Remi could only frown, feeling his stomach clench and his heart pound painfully in his chest. "I...I do not want you to think that I mean you are not that sort of man. That sort of friend. Only...there is a difference between doing something because it is who you are, and doing something because you think it is who you are." The alchemist shook his head gently knowing that he wasn't making much sense. At the best Sam likely would think he was just rambling, at the worst, he'd think Remi was being insulting. But the alchemist didn't know how to express that, from everything Sam had said, Jigano sounded very much as though he was coercing Sam into doing things. Because you're a Loreseeker and because you're the strongest sounded very much like the type of things that Sam wouldn't be able to reject, even if the bard hadn't used those words outright.

"From Ianto." Remi replied softly, his cheeks flushing as he turned to once again regard his hands, running a finger over his palm. The alchemist felt slightly stung that Sam wouldn't accept him at his word. That he might think the alchemist prone to exaggeration or gossip.

But that after his warning Sam might worry that he was warning them for nothing, as if that was the sort of thing Remi often aimed for, made Remi clear his throat gently and rise from the chair.

"Just be careful Sam. I would not have the same fate that befell Ianto befall any of you, either." He added, swallowing down an unhappy lump of emotion as he turned to leave.
