The book of love is long and boring
Sam laughed at Vervain's future visions for her son, glad that she at least understood why he might not want to live with a gang of teen rebels; it felt odd that she considered him a good role model, but it was flattering enough he didn't object. "I never really had many friends as a teenager, but...I'm glad I can provide that for him, if you think it's something he needs." While Cornelius had been much older than he was now, he had appreciated a mentorship in his later teens and could see the benefits.
"Maybe one day. ...After all, if I do live forever, I've got plenty of time to try different things out." He didn't often acknowledge his Ascended eternity to come, but at least this was a way to come at it positively; lots of time to try lots of careers. "For the moment, I'm enjoying the challenge of map making. I have to take more care with it than I had to with the books." After all, someone had to use his work to navigate, so it had to be entirely correct.
Vervain did tell him about Devrum as he asked, but it wasn't hard to see the topic bothered her. "I see." Sam said simply, not wanting to push her talk more on a subject she didn't like. "Speaking of the woods...you must have more experience with the Fae and the Greatwood than I do. Do you think they'll ever truly forgive Ascended? That we could get close to peace?"

No one can lift the damn thing
