Shade in the Shadows

SAMUEL i am the ocean, crawling madly at your moon. and with one wanton whoop — "Maybe." Sam agreed. He had always been a fan of things staying the same. But from what he'd read of history and how he understood the world, things would always change eventually. It was best to be the people at the forefront of it, even if that position was unnatural. Amalia asked what work he was doing. He sighed, knowing she wouldn't react well to it; thinking he'd probably alienate her now as well as Jigano. When they weren't Ascended, they just couldn't understand how the Voice made him feel. As if he were the only child on Caido as loved as he was. It was a pride, a love he'd never felt and he could not believe the Voice was steering him wrong. They'd see when it all worked out. But for now it was best to be vague. "Oh, just some exploring in the woods. She wants to see whats out there. I made a small shrine by a tree." Sam said. He did not like to lie, but it was better than having another person yell at him for his work. "Jigano was upset because I got close to the Fae village." — i melt into a sycophantic soup, & all that's left to do, is giggle, fawn, and swoon.
