"Oh yes, I'm sure that would really help the Ascended reputation as blood sucking monsters." Sam said dryly, looking across at Edy with a jokingly flat face. "Anyway, I don't think you could get close enough. He....he's very powerful, nowadays. I'm certain I wouldn't survive an encounter with him and if I'm as strong as you say, neither will you." His voice became serious towards the end, almost a warning or caution; he could just see Edy running confidently up to Remi and being crushed like a bug in an instant.
The dragons in Halo being Ascended was an interesting idea, but Sam quickly decided not to go too deep into it - with the Longnight Monsters having been confirmed to be once-Ascended, did they really need another problem for people caused by the Voice? Still, something Edy said did catch his attention. "Feel things? Like...like in the room at the Grounds? Or...what do you mean?"
His gloved hand turned as Edy spoke about sharing upgrades and after a moment's consideration, Sam shook his head. "Not most of them. They're pretty far embedded in us, I think. It would be too much of a hassle and too risky to remove every time. I think the Accepted are better at things they can remove, like this-" Sam pulled on the middle finger of the glove until it loosened and came off, revealing his missing three fingers, the joints ending in pale white stumps. "-Deimos made this glove for me."
And speaking of people he had a complicated past with, apparently Wessex was a touchy enough subject for Edy to start throwing rocks again. Not that Sam didn't get it. With a slight smile, he picked up a rock and threw it too, trying to aim for the same spot. "Mmm. Sometimes. I can never work her out. Sometimes I'm her brother and she wants to help, and sometimes...she stabs me."
