Smother me with pillows and kindness, in which I have never seen
Please slit my perfect throat with the knife that I gave you
Sam couldn't help it: at Zeph's quick judgement of Amalia, despite everything, he laughed, the sound oddly loud and harsh compared to his earlier sobs. The smile on his face didn't last long, but it was still a momentary bit of amusement, which was appreciated. "Its c-complicated. I think she t..tr..tries her best." Not that he didn't think she was a bitch about the Gods sometimes, but he was sure she'd say much the same about him.
Sipping his tea right away as the heat didn't matter, Sam waited to see if Zeph would humour his request. It seemed he decided to and the Ascended gave out a little breath of relief, trying his best to listen to Zeph and forget his own panic for a moment.
As it turned out, it was easier to lose himself in it than he had thought, partially because of Zeph's choice of poetic words, but also because of the introduction of 'El'. "Ella...? Who's that-at? ...Another lizard?" After all, 'Ki' had turned out to be much different from the woman he'd first imagined.

When I told you "I love you" in my home
Just stab me in the back
