Life As We Know It - XXIV
While I left for home, Remmie made her way to Chamomile’s cell. Sebastian was sitting at the top of the hall near the door. He smirked as Remmie entered. “Going to speak to her too?” “That’s the plan.” Remmie said. “Afterwords I’m going to get a drink at the Deaf Tent.” Sebastian nodded and closed his eyes, leaning back against the wall he looked almost at peace. “…I guess I’ll ask you on the way back…” Chamomile was fast asleep on her cot. She perked up though the moment Remmie sat down. “I’ve said all I need to your boss and your partner. I don’t have anything else to say.” Remmie crossed her legs. “Yeah but Cammy, I’ve not heard it now have I?” Remmie asked. “Besides, I got a few questions. I saw you got books with you.” “Well congratulations for figuring out I read.” Chamomile said. “Anyone who wants to understand Metamor Keep, or any place they’re trying to overrun, needs to have knowledge of it.” “You had history books, why them?” Remmie asked. “To understand the curse as you know it.” Chamomile said. “That’s what matters.” “Yeah but I don’t know why you need to.” Remmie said. “You were with that dickhead who cursed us. You already know all about the curse. Why would you care how it works?” Chamomile went silent. “Why do you have a book on Blackhone Keep?” “I don’t see how that matters.” Chamomile said. “I’m ready for you to leave and ready to be taken off now. Please leave me alone.” Remmie stood up. “Why do you care what happened to Blackhone after Nasoj took it?” Chamomile refused to look up. “Damn it lady, we’re trying to save you!” “I don’t want to be saved!” Chamomile snapped. “I want to be left alone.” Remmie sighed. “Then it’s going to be your very real funeral.” Remmie walked off, rubbing her eyes. “Lord Eli bless me for I have dealt with stubborn morons.” She returned to Sebastian who opened her eyes as she approached. “Planning to stay here all night?” “If Andwyn were here I’m sure he would, just to make sure he’s always near the resource.” Sebastian said. “You admire him don’t you?” He nodded. “I get that. I like my partner.” Remmie grinned. “We’re not officially partners but she teaches me a lot.” “That’s fascinating.” Sebastian said disinterestedly. “Yeah well I was going to ask ya something.” Remmie said. “I figured you’re getting tired sititng here. Would you like to go get a drink with me?” Now that got Sebastian’s attention. “You want to get a drink with me? Why on Earth would you want that?” Sebastian asked. “You seem thirsty.” Remmie said. “I figured, eh he could use a drink. He can’t be as bad as Janelle thinks.” Sebastian opened his mouth but quickly shut it. “Another time perhaps.” Remmie sighed. “Man work will still be here waiting for you. Relax, take an evening off.” Sebastian ignored him. “Well, alright. Just keep sitting here all night, that sounds like fun. No doubt you’ve got a lot of nights like this ahead of you.” Remmie turned to leave, only for Sebastian to stand up. “Wait…maybe I should.”
