REMI

the lullaby

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair

Remi laughs a touch awkwardly at that and had Nate not reached out for him again, the awkwardness might have persisted. Knowing very little about Nate, all things considered, the kindness and calm the alchemist feels pulsing from the ascended makes him take a deep breath, surprised and touched by it. The strangeness of all of this, of not knowing what to do, how to unravel emotions bound by secrets is there too, but Remi can't help but smile warmly in the face of it all. "It takes some getting used to." The Lullaby admits, of his magic.

Eyeing Nate at that, Remi raises a brow and shakes his head in agreement. "No, nor Ronin or I...we did try and talk to him." That being a major overstatement of what had happened, "But he pulled a typical Loren, accused everyone of being in the wrong and constantly doing wrong by him and then just..vanished." Heaving a sigh, he grits his teeth slightly. "That it ended up being the right thing to do almost makes it worse, you know?" Or maybe he didn't. It was no secret that the alchemist's feud with the Launceleyn was a long-burned-out thing that likely he was the only one keeping lit at this point.

Full of broken thoughts
