leave me blind but play the reel

i've seen fire & i've seen rain.
i've seen sunny days that i thought would never end

The light from Remi's flame seems all the more sinister for how dark the skies have become. Without his glasses, Finn looks all the more similar in a way that is both endearing and repellant. The stiff frames no longer block the lines on the Spyglass's face from Remi's wandering eyes, and wander they do. "Perhaps you and I ought to take a trip to the bottom of the ocean." The Alchemist says earnestly, though his accent makes the words sound more whimsical than he intends. "Find my lost pendant. It was a spy-glass made for me by Safrin." This bit of information was left out when last they spoke, but now Remi was finding it easier to speak with Finn knowing that he wasn't actively being recruited for anything.

Biting the inside of his lip, hearing Ronin's pleas in his mind that he shouldn't be allowed to fall asleep, the Alchemist briefly considers reaching out to take the other man's hand. He doesn't of course and the gesture is quickly shoved aside, or perhaps shelved.

"I could make you something for that." Remi offers instead, his voice soft and almost hesitant. He is an alchemist after all; creating something to make the Spyglass sleep wouldn't be a problem. "If only so your mind could figure out less...problematic ways of finding solutions."
