REMI

Ageing isn't on Remi's radar at all, and so he doesn't think to ask. Instead, he just dips his head, more than understanding this aspect of Nate and Sunjata's relationship, and not at all envying them for the position that they're in.

"He is lucky then. But you know our Ronin—" Our, for there has never been a time that the Alchemist has been ignorant or jealous of the affection between Flood and Star. "—if he thinks you're too much farther ahead than he is, he'll just keep burying himself in pillows and blankets at home, rather than letting you show him the way." It's probably the lingering soldier in Ronin that makes him want to do everything himself, learn it on his own, and prove himself capable. He loves the Star for it, and in times like this when his stubbornness is nothing more than amusing and the only one it harms is Ronin when pillows collapse on him, Remi can fully appreciate this side of his husband.

"Alright well, I"ll get out of your hair." His lingering grin adds for now. "But honestly, if anyone else threatens Nate or you think of a way to help keep him safer here, let me know."

honest feelings and bad timing
make the most painful combination.
