Love mends even the broken parts
Enough. Remi could point out Loren’s deficiencies and illogical thinking all the alchemist wanted—not that he’d been shy about that recently—but that didn’t mean that the Launceleyn was wrong about all this. He crossed his arms as his eyes iced over again. ”Then who is? You? Because you have more magic and power than anyone else? Because you survived it once before and think that means you have a better chance to survive it again?” The summoner’s eyes narrowed. ”Maybe you got lucky the first time, and shouldn’t rely upon your luck holding a second time.” Although he could recognize the other man’s need to go out because of the task from Ludo, that didn’t make his reasoning solid.
”If you don’t want me joining you, then just tell me straight out. I’m going to venture outside regardless, because it sounds like I will be needed, whether you want to believe that or not.” It seemed they were both drawing their lines in the sand, and Remi could accept that and figure out how to work with it, or reject it, and put them all at risk. Still, Loren wasn’t above guilting the alchemist. ”It would be preferable to have someone experienced with me, but I’m sure I’ll manage.” If the other man was so concerned with the summoner’s safety, he wasn’t above manipulating that to their advantage. Even if the Ascended (like Wessex and Rexanna at the moment) disliked him personally, he couldn't imagine they'd let that get in the way. In fact, they might enjoy putting him through his paces.
Maybe the militia should’ve done a better job communicating to the relevant parties who’d be at which location. Well, it wasn’t too late to correct that. ”Assuming nothing changes, which is a big if, Wessex, Phoebe, Cera, Beatrix, Jace, and I are supposed to be at the Temple. Jigano said he’d be there as well. You, Ronin, Amalia, and Deimos will all be at the Guild. That’s all I know at the moment. In terms of distributing magic, you should know that I’m planning to let all the Ascended drink from me. However, I don’t know where they are planning to stay.” They didn’t have to rely solely upon the amulets.
