if you make it all wrong then i'll make it all right
Remi frowned. Vai and Ronin hadn't mentioned those aspects to him. Trying to draw her closer to him, his fingertips gently coaxing her with feather-light pressure, the alchemist softly shook his head. "We both know they would all have accompanied you anyways. And...I have been called naive for thinking so in the past, but I am not so sure that danger is a reason to avoid doing what is right. Neither is pain, and sometimes, neither is death." So saying, the alchemist bit the inside of his cheek, letting his eyes fall lower as he sighed.
