REMI
the alchemist
What good are hands
if there's nothing that they hold
if there's nothing that they hold
The question brings a sad smile to Remi's lips. "I think I would have settled for what I had at the time." He replies, the words just a whisper carried across his lips on a sigh that speaks of pain and melancholy. "The first man I ever thought I loved...he was wrong for me in almost every way, but I had no idea." Gods how he hated Loren now. "And with Sam...it was not right either, but there were moments when it was good. I might have stayed with him." Looking down at his hands, the weight against his throat almost too much to bear, Remi turns tear-shiny eyes toward the Madame. "I would have stayed with Ianto, though. I know I would have. I would not be the man I am now, and I would have been happy to live out my days with him." Would it have been the sort of love he had with Ronin? No. But it would have been sweet and full of endless joy just the same.
"You cannot live your life for others. Caring about making them feel their best might be your job here...but it cannot be who you are. You will never be happy that way." Remi offers, knowing the advice will do little. "As for Jata..." Pulling in a breath, Remi exhales an exasperated sigh. "There are things in his control and there are things outside of it. The things with his father, those are wounds he deserves to have tended to. But everything with this child? With you, right now? Those are things he chose. It is not for you, or Ronin even, to be forced to step lightly when he has done these things knowingly." But of course, that was why Remi was thought of as a heartless monster, and Ronin and Maeve were sweet and good friends.
Grinning wickedly, Remi is about to nod—sex for breakfast was wonderful—when suddenly there is a flash of lightning outside far too bright to have come from the sky. In an instant the alchemist is out of the bed, striding toward the window with little worry for whether his towel stays wrapped around his waist. Hissing in a breath he sees Sunjata on his knees with Ronin's fist at the man's temple. Luckily seconds later the Flood is on his feet leaning against the Star and the pair are walking away together, or Maeve might have found a manticore-sized hole in her wall suddenly.
"Well, it looks like they are using their words." He says with a relieved sigh, tapping a finger against the glass and glancing toward Maeve.

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