there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
Sam couldn't help but laugh to hear Zeph had expected him to have people fawning over him, the idea so silly he didn't even notice the hidden compliment. "That's really not the case. ...Besides, I wouldn't know what to do about the girls." Hopefully that was all he needed to say on that topic. As much as he wanted to become friends with Zeph as soon as possible, he didn't want to have to get into a conversation about sexuality on the second day.
He rather doubted Ki filled the whole a lover would in Zephs life (and if she did he was concerned), but didn't say that. Sam had been single for a long time at one point and knew how painfully uncomfortable it could be to have to explain it. With a kind smile, he moved on the topic. "So...where is the restaurant we're going to? Do you have a favourite in town?"
Whatever Zeph's answer, he was only asking to get away from the awkwardness anyway...which had seemed to define a lot of their relationship so far. Still, there was something fun underpinning it all, definitely helped by the fact that Zeph knew nothing of his past; as far as Sam was concerned he'd love for it to stay that way. Keeping a determinedly casual smile on his face all through dinner and beyond, he was hopeful this might be the start of one of those healthy friendships he'd heard so much about.

No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
