Let's Try This Again

"Mm. I should probably avoid something that spreads fire." Sam decided, hoping he wouldn't run into Oia and her new companion any time soon. As for his and Amalia's discovery, it appeared he'd given Jigano the wrong impression about the nature of it. "Oh, no. Um...not an expedition. Not really anything for the Guild.." He shook his head, wrung his fingers around each other as he tried to find a way to summarise the realisations they'd come to. "I don't know if you heard, but my father died recently. Amalia..received a letter from him with a confession. She...she's my half-sister." He paused after this revelation, looking up to Jigano with nervous eyes to see how he'd respond to the news. He already knew of Remi's attempted suicide, just nodded at that; given the Alchemist's current emotional state it was hardly surprising news anyway. Sam had known Jigano would asked for more details and was willing to give them. While he had regrets, he didn't feel particularly guilty about any of his actions, thought they had been at least justified if not rational. "Well, when I arrived, it started with him attacking my...character, I suppose, calling back to every mistake I've ever made. Then...I don't...really remember how it developed into this--" It had been a lot in a few moments and began to blur as soon as he'd left. "--But I said he was not acting a way Aoife would recognise, that he had forgotten himself. He told me to never say her name again, and, well...I did. Pushing something away, pushing yourself away like that, it's no way to get past anything. I..." Sam sighed, pushing a hand up through his hair. "I wish I was better at all of this. Comforting, helping. I'm sure someone else could get through to him. He doesn't have to face it all alone, and I honestly think Ronin may well have a part in his anger, so I don't know if he counts as company." 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
