Samuel
Sam nearly cringed as he saw Amalia's immediate suspicion. "I only meant that I would not want you to be punished for helping an Ascended, that is all. If she wouldn't do that, well, that's a good thing." He shrugged, trying to show he wasn't looking for a fight over this; it had been a throwaway comment, an assumption that the oft-testy Goddess might not want to help his kind.
Working without the God's input was certainly a way to avoid the issue for the moment, at least. "There are plenty of books here for us to get a head start with." Sam agreed, looking about the Atheneum. It could easily take years to read through all the history collected on the shelves.
Amalia leaned back on some books and sensing a more meaningful conversation was about to happen, Sam sat down at a chair on a nearby table, carefully listening. At first he expected her to say she'd decided to continue as they had been before, so her desire to actually be a family caught him by surprise; still, he knew he wanted the same. "Well...maybe it would help if we...you know, knew each other better? I mean, talk about things that just make us people. Not Ascended or Attuned or anything else."
Hoping she wouldn't find this silly, he took a breath and asked: "For example...what's your favourite thing to bake in your shop?"
