See yourself through my eyes

"Well you are probably the first person to say it is not." Remi quipped with a grin, but it was true too. Sam had acted like he had all but died, as had Devrum and Isla. However as Phoebe continued, now trying to lecture him about the finer points of kissing, Remi could only grin adoringly at her, as if encouraging her to explain just how she came to be such an expert on such things. "Well given that it is difficult to stand and how sore my sides are, that really was the best place for him." Remi replied without even a hint of embarassment. "Mmm." Remi agreed with a grave nod. Isla would be furious, that was certainly true. But...casting a hopeless glance towards Sam, silently pleading to somehow be saved from this, he turned back to Phoebe with a gently shrug. "I know." He agreed, colour blooming in his cheeks as he realized just how often he actually heard Jigano's criticisms from people he did consider his friends. Whatever excitement still lingered beneath the pillow had decidedly been squashed by this point, and the alchemist could only nod wearily beneath Phoebe's stare. "More careful?" He repeated, a bit surprised. Everyone did keep telling him that, but it was hardly his fault. Were they all just meant to stay inside now, never leave? The pair of them were hardly more than a few minutes into the Woodlands when the bear attacked. "We were being careful." He muttered, almost childishly as she moved to see his bandages. Knowing that she was more than trained, Remi nodded obediently enough. With a grimace, Remi allowed her to unwind the bandages from his side, wincing as the still-healing flesh and clotted blood were pulled away from the dried bandages. The area beneath was a horrific sight to behold; Isla wasn't kidding when she said it had been difficult and would be a mass of scars. There's hardly been enough skin left to stitch, and so the landscape of his torso and sides was now a bloody and grotesque smattering of muscle and skin. "Thanks Phoebe." He whispered gently, raising a hand to gently place it on her arm. "And it is good to see you. Thank you for coming." He added with a warm smile. remi I always forget that you can't read my mind
