I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
"I---mmmm." Sam gave up, a little irritated. Why did everyone always try to bring out his anger, his 'fire'? Couldn't they just like him for being nice and quiet? At least he wasn't 'wimpy' anymore.
Though it seemed Amun would switch from mockery to comfort on a whim and he nearly had emotional whiplash as he looked up to hear the next words, which were a genuine help. "I...suppose you are right. The Voice does always remind me of our family. I just...was used to being alone for so long. There have been a lot more Ascended in Caido in the last couple of years." Not that he'd ever been the only one, but he'd always been a champion at isolation and it had been easier when there were less than four Ascended in the town.
"I don't think there's a fun way to be eaten." Sam replied entirely genuinely, laughing a little at the thought. "But...if you say so. Do you think they attacked you because you're an outsider or because you're Ascended?" The distinction was important.
His face fell. "Zariah? She's...what? Arch-mage of the Citadel?!" How did she keep getting into these positions? "Oh dear, I don't think she'd like me much at all, if she knows who I am. Maybe I should stay away from the city."

And I, I think I know just what that means
Just what that means
