Love mends even the broken parts
The alchemist’s silence in the face of the Launceleyn’s comment was impossible to interpret. So he didn’t even bother, not wanting to risk another miscommunication. That didn’t mean he would let the other man’s ribbing go. The summoner nudged Remi right back. ”Hey if you want to risk getting hoisted by your own petard again by risking a manticore to the face, that’s on you.” Indeed, they both knew what might happen when Loren got startled, though his voice came out gently teasing, now amused by the whole incident.
Then they arrived at the Manor, and Loren carefully led the way into the kitchen. There was probably a better place to finish butchering the deer, but this would do; he pulled out the various tools they’d need for the task, setting them on the counter. Presumably the alchemist would be just as skilled at this as he was at field dressing, so the Launceleyn made room for the other man.
