SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Remi's first answer, the 'no'..well, it was a good thing Sam had steeled himself for rejection, because that preparation allowed him to just nod rather than react too strongly to what seemed like the end of their relationship (for real this time); but then Remi continued.
Sam listened quietly, unsure if he was listening to a gentle rebuttal or a cautious acceptance: when it turned out to be the latter he broke out into a smile, unable to help it, and turned to Remi to take the offered hand, shaking it as he blinked back a couple of happy, emotional tears that he hoped would be forgiven. "..Right. Then...Samuel. I suppose I might as well be an all together different man now too, after all that's happened." It felt like lifetimes ago that he'd written those diaries about first meeting Remi, the texts practically historical, especially as he could not actually remember writing the words.
Thankfully they had a topic to jump into rather than focusing too much on what could be a slightly awkward reintroduction. Letting go of Remi's hand, Sam tilted his head to one side. "Ludo..? Did it...have something to do with Isla?" He asked, unsure why else the herald of death might have a connection to Remi.
