SAMUEL
I am drowning
There is no sight of land
"Oh." The days after Ronin had died, the days of the Spire trouble and tension in the town...it had not been a happy time. Recalling the memory weighed down his heart just a little, a heaviness in his chest. "Yes, I remember. You were very upset, as is understandable.." It hurt to think of now, the pain he'd seen in Remi's eyes that day. Pain that now he was thankful to only see the remainder of some days, a ghost of much worse things gone by.
As he pulled away from the kiss he let his hands linger on Remi's jaw. "..I...do remember considering something similar, at the time. You must understand I had very low confidence then, and I did not really understand...well, this." He gestured between them. "I remember thinking that I was bothering you, with my affections, that I was making it all worse. With a...general inability to look to the future, I assumed you had seen the last of me you wanted to. I did consider never talking to you again. I'm glad I did not, of course. But I suppose if I was truly distraught...I could see why I would do such a thing. It would be a great mistake, though, of course."

You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
