my heart is yours to break

right now everything you want is wrong
& right now all your dreams are waking up

"Does it? Why?" Remi wonders. "I don't feel the same. But I think that's because the idea is still so new, and you've already been here for months." It would take time for the alchemist to make this place a home, as well as feel comfortable in the city. It was never somewhere he thought he'd live and everything he'd done so far had rallied against it. But...it seemed the safest place for Mateo, and was where Ronin had set down roots. Surely Remi could as well.

'This is going to take some getting used to." The alchemist grumbles. As whimsical as the staircase was, it was completely foreign to the alchemist who was already forced to white-knuckle-grip the railing lest he tumble over the side of it by overcompensating the turn. This probably means that he's also holding onto Ronin's hand far too tightly as well. "I'm sure Sera would have some ideas." Remi replies with a shrug, feeling much better once his feet were back on the floor again. "Lots of green plants would help too. They don't burn easily."

The question of flight however has Remi's knees threatening to buckle and his stomach turning to water. He's undone in ways he can't even communicate, save for the stupid smile that spreads slowly across his lips. "-mm-" He manages, nearly choking on his own tongue. Laughing at himself, Remi shakes his head no (as if to shake off his awkwardness), before looking up only to shake it yes. "There is almost nothing I would enjoy more."
