i've seen fire & i've seen rain.

Though the Alchemist said nothing, his thoughts said much. He wasn't so naive or wet behind the ears when it came to leadership to know that he didn't stand as Governor alone. He didn't even stand with his council, really. If the majority of Torchline turned against him, it wouldn't take a coup to remove him; Torchline would simply turn her back and that would be that. In so thinking, he wondered how this would all play out. If Jack would need his feathers fluffed and soothed, or if Jata would need a talking to.

Snorting a touch at that, he shook his head. "Mmm, until I'm reduced to a pile of smouldering ash." He replied, reaching out for a cigarette with a grateful nod. Fire appeared in the air, hovering before himself and Jack to light the tobacco, before disappearing. No sense singing off their eyebrows by using the campfire.

"You're not the first to say so, but take it from me, safer to avoid them. I've seen a girl nearly be raped, lost my memories, had emotions taken, been cursed. Not to mention I willingly gave up my soul to Ludo, so.." Flicking an ash into the sand, Remi shrugged as he took a long drag.

"Be that as it may, LongNight is a bitch to survive." He said coldly, his teeth making his jaw feather with tension.
