You learn to stand alone at last
So brave, and bold, and strong, and stout
"Mhmm." Sam met her eyes for a moment and smiled before looking away, wondering as she stubbed out the joint what it felt like. Even if he had a chance to smoke it he wouldn't know; likely would never find out in his however long of being alive why people gave themselves to substances. He wondered if it would let him drop his inhibitions, his walls; perhaps it was best he couldn't partake, because that was an addicting premise even in imagination.
It certainly made Maeve wise (though maybe she was always like this); her words on love were painfully true. All Sam could do was sigh and nod, laying back to look up at the sky, relaxing enough to not have to sit up anymore. "I...I thought things were going well, a couple of seasons ago. I started getting to know a man and he was lovely. Last time I saw him, we kissed...then he just...disappeared." He sighed, not quite sure why he was suddenly speaking about this, but the story just tumbled out; maybe he was finally beginning to accept Amun was gone. "I thought I'd finally found someone that was going to stay with me. But he didn't even say goodbye, and I don't know if that's because he couldn't...or if he just didn't want to."
He looked at her wrist when it was offered, immediately recognising the bite marks. It was comforting, in a way, to hear that Ascended were normal customers the same as anyone else, even if things were different. Sam didn't expect the question turned back on him, though it was only fair, so he answered with a nervous laugh: "Yes, though...not for a while, and um..well, not for a while." Deciding not to get into the various changes to his body in the last year, he pressed his lips together and focused up on the dark sky. "I used to have a patch that let me actually um..do that normally, but it's gone now. The Voice took it eventually."
