Let it Rain

Sam nodded along with Jigano's thoughts on recording the happenings at the Spire. It would be one of the most important things the guild would ever do, he was sure of that. Though...perhaps if they recorded what happened after the barrier fell, if it did (and if they didn't die in the process) that would turn out to be a much mightier task. He had no way of knowing. Jigano asked him what had happened and he nearly laughed with the absurdity of it all, that it had only been a couple of weeks since they had spoken and already he had so much to say. That his life had entirely turned around in just that short time. "No, I haven't seen them. I saw Evie in her shop, but...it was civil enough." Odd, for sure. She had been acting...unusual. But she had not bullied him, as such. "No, the issue is more to do with Remi. Ludo...Remi lost something of Ludo's. I'm not sure what, but I know it was precious." His whole body language changed as he spoke, Sam drawing into himself, making himself small by pulling his knees up and tightening his shoulders. "Ludo punished him. By...making him forget me, and our relationship. All of it. I..feel like it was a punishment on me, as well, and I'm not sure what I did to deserve it, but...after that...we tried. I tried. To be close again." Sam chewed on his lip, looked at Jigano with a frown. "But he was disgusted by the mere idea of being with a man. Back...where he's from, that's a problem. Just before the Spire attack, we kissed, then he seemed upset, for some reason. After that, with Ronin dead...he doesn't want to speak to me at all now." While he kept tears from falling, it was clear they were close, his voice wavering between pitches as he relayed the story once again. Samuel He took a step but then felt tired He said, I'll rest a little while But when he tried to walk again He wasn't a child
