There's a chance we all are given. Trust your heart.
Eden made his way lazily toward the pier, where he had arranged to meet with Rémy. He figured such a public place would put the ghoul at ease, and from there they could find a more private place, perhaps a restaurant booth if Rémy was hungry, and talk privately.
Rémy was where he'd said they'd meet when he arrived, playing with Jaques. Eden took a moment to simply watch him, relaxed and happy. He wondered what Rémy would be like in unlife, if he would change as Eden had, become stronger and more confident. If he would be proud of who he became, or continue on as he was, timid and sweet. Either option would be fine with Eden, he would be happy with anything so long as Rémy came through the Embrace whole.
Eden came up quietly behind Rémy, hovering for a moment before wrapping his arms around him and spinning, two full, quick circles before he set him down and turned him so they could face each other. He took Rémy's hands in his own and tugged him close to kiss his cheeks, then returned the boy's personal space to him.
"And how are you this evening, Rémy mine?"
