I breathe disaster

sometimes love is all that can save us, sometimes love can kill a man

"No, I know." The alchemist agreed softly. "That is why I was trying to point out when you fell back into old habits, like leaning heavily on the past." He added with a soft shrug. Maybe Loren would tell him to not, to let him figure it out on his own. But without someone to hold the mirror up to the Launceleyn, someone who knew who and what the family had been before Caido, Remi wasn't entirely sure Loren would progress fast enough. Perhaps that was unfair, but it wasn't just the summoner who was affected by this anymore.

"I did not mean that literally." Remi interjected. "Only that the baggage of your family's name need not be something you keep carrying around. Jace and Beatrix and Peter can still be your family, but not only because they bear the same last name." But, it was all easier said than done, and Remi wasn't so naive as to think it would be simple.

For once it was Remi's turn to be stiff in the summoner's arms. Not because he didn't want to return the gesture, but because his mind was still horribly entangled in what had happened last year; and that hadn't even been all of it. Humming a sound in the back of his throat that was as melancholy and broken as it was an acknowledgement that Loren had said something, Remi nodded distantly.

sometimes love is a soft touch, or a line drawn in the sand
