SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Sam had surprisingly had quite a nice evening, walking along the beach looking at the lanterns. A sombre one to be sure, but there was something beautiful in the lights and their reflections in the water and he'd found the gentle sounds of waves and peoples soft songs and memories to be quite relaxing. Remi and Ronin had been there (and Remi had certainly made quite a loud ruckus) but he'd managed to avoid them both and get away with a minimum amount of conversation in general, which was what he really wanted at the moment.
When he'd seen all the lanterns he had begun to walk down the beach, wandering and listening to the sea, staring up at the stars and wondering about the future, about if he'd ever find love, where the Ascended would end up...everything that was troubling him. There, on the beach, it all seemed a little easier to deal wi--
Before him, he saw a shape on the ground that at first he couldn't parse, something large and still. Sam walked towards it slowly at first, peering: then he realised it was a Unicorn laid on the ground and when he focused, a man kneeling next to it...it took only a couple of seconds more before he realised who this was and without thinking began to run forward, his heart pulling him towards the two figures in the dark before his mind had a chance to catch up.
Once he'd gotten close enough to see in detail he simply stared. Stood and stared at Remi (who looked...weaker, yet...different in some other way that was harder to explain) and at Isla, his eyes filling with tears at the second. Silently he stood there and looked between them both, words unable to form in his mouth.
