Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
"Yes, I realised that right after I'd said it. It was...just a tense moment, and I acted on a stupid instinct." Sam sighed, glad Loren could see it had been a momentary lapse and didn't seem like he was judging him too hard for it; he returned the hand squeeze. "I am too."
He wasn't expecting Loren's tale of his Remi encounter to go like it did - looking over as his hand was dropped, his face falling at what Loren said. "You..you did?!" He leaned forward to look at the Launceleyn's neck, which appeared to be unmarred. Loren went to hug Astra and Sam stood silent for a moment, unsure of what to say or do. He'd been close to suicide a few times in his own life, had attempted before - but he'd never been faced by anyone else with the same problem.
"Well...to start being sensible, don't do that again." He said, a smile on his face like he was being friendly, telling a joke, but his voice deadly serious. "I would be very upset, Loren, to lose you. We haven't known each other that long, but...you've been a wonderful friend. And...there's enough tragedy in this place already."

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