REMI
the alchemist
What good are hands
if there's nothing that they hold
if there's nothing that they hold
Ahh, well. There it was.
Remi doesn't look too surprised as the second one is revealed to be Jata. Knowing nothing of Locke—though how ironic that the man was now spending his days with Remi's husband—the alchemist just lets his gaze tilt up toward the ceiling for a moment as he considers. "The how of meeting someone...I do not think it matters." He says slowly, thoughtfully. "When Ronin and I were apart...there was not a single person who could have caught my eye. Nor all the years we have been together." Chuckling under his breath, Remi raises one of his hands to press his fingertips against his eyes. "At one point, I ended up living with a man that I was in love with before. The man I was with when I fell in love with Ronin. I even slept in the same bed with him every night for weeks, and nothing happened." Sorry Locke. Letting his hand fall back into his lap, Remi turns his soft stare toward Maeve and shrugs.
As for Sunjata, Nate, and Hotaru? It was more complicated in some ways...but not in others. "And with Sunjata...I think two things. What you are to him, and what he is to you...those things are not necessarily linked. You cannot help how you feel." Ruffling a hand through his curls, Remi indeed will keep to his word about not sugar coating things, despite how hard it might be, given how sweet and kind Maeve suddenly looks, cuddled up in her blankets. "But I think what Sunjata and Nate have is real. Even if Nate never comes back...even if this ends them...it will not leave a hole in his heart to fill. It will destroy it." Remi knows this, if only because the same would be true if Ronin was ever not in his life anymore.
Her final question is the easiest to answer though, and it leaves laughter pouring from the alchemist's lips. "Ahh well. Because people do not want love. They want a fairytale. They want romantic dates, and sex for breakfast and all the excitement. But real love is the things in between." Remi says with an almost sweet sigh. "Everyone wants an easy life. And so they want an easy love, too."

And what good are hearts
if you bury them all alone?
