[KQ] Hush

Sam was still working out just how their path had wound them up back with the group when Amalia had answered the riddle; he had instantly dismissed himself from that task, knowing that he was not bold enough to be the speaker for any group. So when the wall disappeared before them and unspeakable beauty appeared, he was shocked. Stepping backwards and looking around, he tried to gauge the reactions of his fellow cave-adventurers. He had never heard of 'the voice', had no idea who she was...and she immediately revealed him to the rest of the group as an Ascended. If he still had blood, he would have flushed red. "I-I. Um." Sam looked across at Archebold. He had no doubt that the other man would drink. It was something he hated to do, especially in front of others, but it felt rude to refuse, Awkwardly, slowly, he moved forward and after a nervous smile and nod up at the girl, bent his head to push his fangs into her wrist. As uncomfortable as the whole situation made him, there was little comparison to the feeling of being refilled with fluids, the replenishment like a sigh of relief throughout his whole body. He stepped back after he had had his fill, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and whispering a thanks to The Voice before stepping behind the rest of the group. As soon as he was able to, he left quickly and quietly, hoping to sneak off in the dark and possibly not be remembered. Samuel Another little nothing-ever-after, Nothing more
