'Barely.' Remi comments, and there's a hollowness in his voice that's filled only by the colourful swirl of surprise and egotistical anger that flows from his skin. "Had you not hit it as often as you did..." He begins, before grumbling himself into a moment of silence. "..I think that is the only reason I could keep a hold of it." Rubbing a finger across his forehead as if the sand there was hostile and needed to be removed, Remi closes his eyes, ignoring their surroundings.

"I have never been hit that hard before. Not even by Wessex. Not even by you that day in the desert." He mumbles, sighing, before snapping his eyes open. "I almost wonder if we should not have told the ascended about it. Or...if we could tell them still. Let them go down there and get themselves killed."
