For Science

remi The higher I climb the farther I fall when I do For just a moment it looked as though Sam had actually believed that he'd overlooked the change in his voice, but his quick eyeroll indicated that the alchemist had been caught. With a boyish grin that spoke of mischief, Remi winked in his direction. Quickly though the smile faded away as Sam mentioned that Remi had actually been around for the beginning of this 'cure'. "Oh." He said, his smile souring slightly before he caught himself and offered the bookmaker a sweet smile of apology. "And what is it you did? Nothing too off-putting I put." Though the change was perhaps surprising for Sam, for Remi who had now heard the man stutter just as much as speak boldly (as when they were birds), he actually found the change quite easy to adjust to. In a way perhaps that would be a disappointment to Sam: this version of Remi wouldn't fully appreciate the difference in Sam. After all, this Remi only knew the Sam who had been emboldened by his relationship with the alchemist over the proceeding few weeks, and who had spoken to him as a bird for hours without so much as a hiccup. Glancing down at the cub, Remi twitched his lips thoughtfully. Lowering his stare so that it was equal to the cube and perhaps looking every bit the mad scientist he had once been, Remi chewed his lower lip for a moment before glancing up at Sam. "And...sorry for asking, if you ... ahh, perhaps told me this already, but are you quite sure that it does do something? I know you felt...compelled to find it, but why think that it is anything more than a paperweight?" Knowing little about the ascendeds as a race, Remi knew even less about the technology that they possessed and that they were often want to find.
