Shoot The Messenger

yes other hearts were broken & other dreams ran dry

but our golden ones sail on and on

A faint smile spread across Remi's lips at Sam's sudden wide-eyed gaze. "Mmmm." He hummed almost playfully, a brow subtly raised. He'd not push the topic and yet...well. What reasons might Sam have for reacting with such bashfulness at the reminder of his roommate, unless they were now more than that?

"You could. The fae seem to tolerate us in the woods now, but I imagine it will not be easy." Remi agreed with a gentle nod. Besides, Sam had already lived in the woods once. What it would mean for Nate, the alchemist had no idea, but of course the roommate was not who Remi was worried about. "I am not sure you can run from this though. Were it me...It might be easier to tell everyone. Have everything in the open." He softly suggested, knowing that he and Sam could not be more different in their approaches to problems like this. "I would be there for you, if you did decide to say something." Remi added, nudging Sam's shoulder with his own.

With a weary sigh, Remi merely shrugged. Anger did not come naturally to him and the explosion of leonine rage he'd displayed before with Sam filled him with cold guilt. "Anger will not solve this." He said mildly. "And as you said, it was not you. Not anything you knowingly did, anyways."
