"Oh." Replied Sam flatly, unsure of what to say and sure he was completely missing some memory that Remi might have had. Sometimes he could almost forget (ha) that they had ever had their heartbreak at all, with their friendship progressing well and the close bond between them still there, but every so often an awkward little reminder tugged at his heart.
Remi again pledged to protect him, assuring him no one that opposed his Ascension would be here, and he couldn't help but smile. It was good to have a circle of friends.
The ability to summon Spark Birds was impressive and Sam recognised a name he had been told before - Loren. Who was this man, who had such powerful magic both Wessex and Remi recommended his help? At the mention of biting him he glanced to Nate then looked down, embarrassed; it felt...adulterous, even if it was for practical reasons.
At least Nate had provided a question for him to move onto. "It is a large, beautiful bird made of fire and light...it comes at the end of LongNight, sometimes. It came last year. It's...supposed to chase away the darkness. It did seem to work." He remembered that much, at least. "Don't worry, Nathaniel. We'll all see the other side of it, I'm sure."

I cannot believe my eyes, but I think I see a light;
You are everything I've always wanted in my life
