Love mends even the broken parts
The word was an obscure one, and honestly Loren couldn’t remember the exact definition off the top of his head. It didn’t really matter, though. ”The expression means to get defeated by your own ability, skill, or trap, that sort of thing.” As Remi moved closer, the summoner let out the breath he hadn’t known he was holding. However, perhaps he’d relaxed too soon. ”How long do I, personally, think this will be awkward? Probably forever, but I’m a pessimist. It’s just...another thing we’ll have to get used to, I guess.” He prayed to any god that might be listening that they’d actually survive to get used to it.
As the alchemist physically suited actions to his words, and stepped on the Launceleyn’s toes, the corners of his lips did their twitch again. Still, this wasn’t particularly amusing, and he sighed, rubbing at his eyes wearily. ”I don’t want you to feel that way either. So...what do you need from me, to feel comfortable?” He could promise to provide it, but just knowing what the other man felt about all this might be useful.
Then, however, Remi decided to give Loren a challenge. Although the alchemist couldn’t possibly remember how bad an idea that was, the Launceleyn’s eyebrows rose in response; he’d been a farmer for a while, so yes, he knew how to butcher an animal. Instead of speaking, he just picked up a knife and started carving steaks from the deer’s front shoulders.
