it's a long way home

cut up our losses into doable doses

ration our tears and sighs

Remi inhaled sharply, watching with pale eyes as the glass broke noisily against the wall. The alchemist's first thought was for Aoife, and the care it would take to ensure that none of those shards remained when she came home, until he watched Ronin pick up one of the larger pieces. At which point all rational thought drained from Remi's face. "What are.." He started to say, hissing between his teeth as the glass bit into Ronin's skin revealing not blood, but thick grotesque fluid.

"..Stop!" Trying to bridge the distance between them as quickly as possible, Remi reached out a hand to try and staunch the bleeding with his fingers as he'd once done oh so long ago for a man he hardly knew back in Northaven. The cut was far deeper than was necessary for Ronin to make his point, and as Remi dragged his gaze up to Ronin's face he tried to take a levelling breath. "I thought you were willing it away." He said tersely, at a loss for what else to say. Ronin wasn't wrong, after all.
