SAMUEL "I think pranks are more your sort of thing." Sam teased as he followed Remi to the back. He couldn't imagine what Jigano's reaction would be if he began to play pranks in the Atheneum. The Loreseekers, with it's academic mood and library setting, seemed like the kind of Guild which would not welcome a class clown (and no matter how much confidence Sam had gained, it would not be him). He sat down and watched Remi lift the kettle without touching it with an absentminded smile on his face. Magic was so wonderful; if he was ever lucky enough to bite Remi again he really had to try the telekinesis. He did notice the lion scratches on the door but did not know what had caused them; just assumed Remi had used the door as a way to get out some stress. "Oh. I did not know Outlanders could bring anything." Most Outlanders he'd met had arrived penniless and with only the clothes on their backs, if that. He was surprised Remi would share the precious remains of home; felt honoured to be a part of it. At the question, he blinked. Had he not told Remi about the upgrade? He thought he'd mentioned it...but perhaps he had not explained well enough. "I used to not be able to feel things, but then you made me the upgrade. You made it after...well. After the cave, when we kissed and you were upset I couldn't...feel the same way as you." He looked about the room while he said this, hoping Remi wouldn't feel as scared by the idea when eyes weren't on him. "It allows me to taste, to touch...everything. Including pain. Which you may consider a bad thing, but for me...it is a sign of being alive. It...it's still the best gift anyone has ever given me." He looked over to Remi with the gentlest of affections in his eyes. "Perhaps you don't remember it, but I still want to thank you every day." I'm starting to heal and find some faith I'm starting to feel what's out of place Don't need you to save me, I can't wait To fall, to fail and start again
