SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Remi coming so threateningly close to Sam combined with the venom in his words would have once scared him away, but this was after some of the most harrowing arguments of his life - he'd argued to the very end of philosophical difference with Jigano, had kept on a brave face when Wessex pulled out a knife to threaten him; He would not let himself be hit down by this...person, whom he felt was an enemy of the Remi he knew as well as his own.
He didn't know what man Remi was referring to, nor that he had 'nearly killed' Roana - but what did that change? He defended The Voice after the many deaths that were arguably her fault. Life was hard here and sometimes, good people had to do bad things to survive, to continue; he considered himself lucky rather than moral that there was no blood directly on his hands.
"No, Remi. Because you cared about your friends. Because when I was considering weapons over Longnight you told me who I was -- and you were right. Because you love people and...I think that's whats making you so hurt now, but don't...don't turn hard." He shook his head, then took in a breath and said something he would immediately regret, but that felt right for a fraction of a second: "Aoife would not recognise you as her father like this."
