You know I still like you the most
The best of the best
Sam had almost not come - his foot was slow to heal even with his quick healing and he was having to use a stick, he was tired of all these debates...but he'd been trying so hard to assist in Caido's future recently. He had to keep trying, stay invested, stay informed. Arriving just before Rexanna began to speak and sitting by the back, he listened to the positions that were available.
It was not in his nature whatsoever to stand up and volunteer, to make himself so vulnerable, so available for people to judge. But this had been a year of new limits, new accomplishments, and a position in the town would be a concrete way for him to help with it's progress. Not just that - he felt it was important Ascended were at least represented by one person in the council.
When Wessex put herself up for the position, he felt a fear grip his heart. Would she be angry, if he went against her? Though...He knew a lot of people were angry at Wessex for various things she had done, as Queen or as a warrior. While he was not popular with everyone, he was a Natural, he was kind (or at least he liked to think so) and he was finding within himself a drive for justice and inclusion that he'd not had before.
Nervously he stood, forcing his voice to be steady. "I would like to be considered for Natural Advisor, please. I've lived here my entire life - I know this town very well, I know it's market, houses, how it works...I've seen all the upheaval of the last couple of years. I know how tired we all are; yet I still have Outlander friends, sympathise with them too. I think I could..." He paused, hesitating for just a moment with old inconfidence stopping him from stating his benefits. "..Be easily trusted by people. I will keep your secrets and you can speak to me honestly. I will listen and try to find the most fair solution for all of us. I know our history, I know how we've been hurt in the past - I'll help us to avoid that. Thank you." With a polite smile and nod, he sat back down.
At least now he could say he'd tried, even if he was certain he would never be chosen.
