Love mends even the broken parts
Remi might want to protect his friend. That was admirable. Moral. Heroic, even. However, Loren was trying to protect everyone, especially when they seemed determined to get themselves killed, and the fact that someone would get hung up on being picky about who they’d bite was ridiculous to him. Yes, it was intimate, and he could understand not wanting that with a stranger (him more than most) but in this particular case, when lives were on the line, they all needed to make sacrifices.
Indeed, it wasn’t like the Launceleyn was happy with this idea. Still, he couldn’t force the Ascended to bite him. ”Alright. At least try to impress upon him that this might save lives? Even one extra healing spell or Spark Bird might make the difference between life and death, especially because you seemed to feel strongly that I won’t be at the Guild myself.” All Loren wanted was to maximize the chances of everyone surviving this. If the other man couldn’t recognize that the summoner didn’t know how to make Remi understand.
The other man could pray to whatever god he wanted. After all, the Launceleyn had faced down gods and survived before. And he wouldn’t be deterred. ”What are you so upset about?” This was beyond the alchemist’s normal behavior, and now Loren was even more interested to know where Remi’s mind had gone.
