there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
Sam waited to see if Loren would be offended, but thankfully it seemed that he was humble enough to admit his failures; Sam smiled sympathetically. He let his hand be dropped, pushing on the arm of his chair to stand. Loren's next words were good, he thought, in a way: clearly the other man was in a lot of pain, but he seemed to know what it was he had to do, even if it would be hard.
With a soft sigh Sam took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Loren, slowly so that the man could pull away if he wanted to, and stroked his back. "...I know. I wish I could make it easier for you. But...the one thing I can do is be understanding, and I am. It's okay." It was hard for him to say; betrayal tugged at his heart, but he felt this was the right thing to do. Put aside his own hurt when Loren was so clearly lost, grasping at any comfort he could find.
Taking a step back, Sam let out a breath and smiled. "Well. Should I make you a cup of tea?"
