You learn to stand alone at last
So brave, and bold, and strong, and stout
"You aren't sure..?" Sam asked, clearly quite bemused by that. He'd spent a lot of time alone with the weeks blending together, but he'd at least always been aware of his birthday and how old he was. "Thirty four is close enough to what I said, and besides -- it's not old. So you really must stop it with calling yourself old." Perhaps that was a bit bold to say to a stranger, but he tried to keep his tone light. Still, he'd spent enough years hitting himself with derogatory words to recognise them when he heard them.
Honestly Sam wasn't sure he was fond of the Hollowed Grounds. It was where he'd always been and he had a sort of pride in it he supposed, for continuing, for trying, but it was hardly a pleasant place to be. "I've heard. I'm..friends with the new Governor. Do you think..he's going to do a good job with the crime around here?" If Zeph really were just a dock worker, he'd think the stricter laws were a good thing, right?
"I..prefer evenings, but that does sound nice. I've never been much of a crowd person, but um..maybe I could find somewhere to sit and watch." Sam smiled weakly, still unsure why he was avoiding the topic of his being Ascended so automatically. "I'd like to observe it all, see what everyone does...write about it."
