[Training] these beats of a dark heart

i found cynicism, i found criticism
i've been zero to hero & i have been the villain

Remi hadn't given Saiden a thought since their last meeting. That the cook had tried to strike up conversation where none was to be had didn't register on the Alchemist's radar passed the moments in which the conversation had transpired. Much had happened since then anyhow, with the Alchemist becoming yet another iteration of himself. This one cleansed of past wrongs and hurts; made brighter by his new found soul-owned existence.

"Hallo Saiden." The Alchemist called with a wave. Unlike the sailor, Remi wore a t-shirt as well as shorts. The nearer they came to Deepfrost the colder the breeze. Still, he'd been told they'd likely not see any snow which was a relief. 'Thanks for the invitation. I'd be lying if I said all this political paper-pushing thats been going on hasn't indeed made me want to punch something." He added with a bright laugh.
