Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
"Well, because it affects me." Sam tried to keep his voice calm on this topic, which frustrated him. "Regularly the Voice won't tell us, or won't help us fix, things that make other people hate us. Judge us. The Prince makes all of us look bad...I would have appreciated some kind of warning that he existed. That he could be found." Then there was the more vulnerable reason, one that made Sam sigh and look off before speaking. "And...it's scary. To know I could have been the same as him. How do I know my body won't one day malfunction like that? It's...it was just unpleasant to find out the way I did, I suppose."
As for the Abandoned and the Ascended; Sam frowned, not having much more to say than he already had. "Just that...we are thought of as lesser by the Old Gods and have special abilities. That people look down on us, sometimes."
Loren continued to predict doom for their future; Sam recognised that self flagellation and certainty it would go wrong from himself, but somehow when it was from someone else, he could see how foolish it was. "I'm getting to know you...what else would you suggest I do? Just leave, because eventually you might make a mistake? I'm enjoying your company, Loren. I can't be the only one who has. After all, Abasi loved you, didn't he?" The last question asked softly, Sam gently touched Loren's arm.

And fuck you for making me
Think that this life might be fair
