On This Night

Samuel And he's smiling like he means it, and he's stretched out on his back And he's telling me now that he loves me, for the fifth or the sixth time, I can't keep track "You aren't f-flying or furry ri-right now..." He said, amused by Remi's theories on why Mia was interested in him. It appeared that actually she was just sociable, walking up under Remi's chin and rubbing up against it, flicking her tail against his jaw. Sam watched as his face changed, wondering if it hurt. Probably not, if he did it so often, right? And it hadn't hurt when he'd been a bird...the thought brought to mind biting Remi, if he'd be doing that now that the other man was well; if he was expected to do it...it was complicated and sad, so Sam stopped thinking of that and moved right onto something else just as complicated and sad. "Remi..." He said, his voice quiet and concerned. "Ji-jigano told me. That you...w-wore a mask from Ludo. And...th-that you are g..going to the Spire. Is that....t-true?" The tone of his voice very much implied that he wished it were not true, and he hoped Remi might tell him that actually Jigano had had the wrong idea of things.
