SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
"..Then that's good." Sam nodded, trying to push away the remaining waves of anger in his chest towards Remi. While he didn't have the highest opinion of the man anymore, he thought that at least the Alchemist would be kind to his companion and once-friend, not want to hurt her unecessarily.
He said nothing at Remi's surprise about him and Loren (though he did notice it. He'd seen that face a couple of times on different people now) or the comment about the startled people, just shrugging and tilting his head as if to say yes, they were. Sam had learned quite strongly lately that it did not pay to try and reprimand Remi, especially not for things that he could easily dismiss.
Remi's points about the festival and Sam's personal ghosts both were true enough and he gave a quiet 'hum', looking down as he pushed some sand around with the toe of his shoe. "You're probably right. Though...you're so different nowadays, you feel like a new man more than a ghost." There wasn't really any anger or confrontation in this comment, just the flat stating of what was. "It's hard to avoid Nate when we're both Ascended, no matter how much I'd like to."
Seeing as Remi was talking to him without flying into a rage or accusations for the moment, he felt emboldened to ask another question. "..What..were the shadows around you, when I arrived?"
