Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
"Yes, that one. It's beautiful." Sam held out a hand to take the vase and look at it closer, fingers reverently light and gentle with the piece. The price Amun asked was more than reasonable and something he could easily fulfill so he nodded, going to softly put the vase down by the door so he could take it when he left. "Yes. A variety, actually, showing different information. What would you be using it for?"
Never having been able to be so accepting of his own talents, he was somewhat jealous of Amun's easy way of acknowledging them; Sam had often fantasised about having that kind of confidence. It seemed Amun had a few more tricks up his sleeve (or in his hand..?) too, the patch fascinating in it's own right. Leaning forward to watch it change, Sam nodded appreciatively. "It's very impressive." It reminded him of his own, now lost, ability to blend in.
A sailor and a potter? Amun was certainly a man of various abilities. "Oh, I see. I've always thought it must be lovely to work exploring the sea...but I understand the appeal of simply creating things too." Which nicely tied into his answer to the question directed at him: "No. I had no plans at all really, then an old bookmaker in the market took me under his wing when my parents kicked me out. He taught me a trade and gave me somewhere to live...I owe a lot to him. I did find that I liked working on the projects, too. It let me escape."

And fuck you for making me
Think that this life might be fair
