SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Remi's question quietened Sam for a second as he thought, bringing a hand to his chin and rubbing his fingers over his mouth as if trying to stop himself admitting a thought too soon. "...I suppose a bit of both, really. The Voice does things I struggle to justify. The Ascended seem to not like me very much as a whole. Yet, it is the most belonging I have ever had, and I believe in some ways we have vastly improved the world. Me and you would not be stood on this beach were it not for the Voice, after all." It was a multi-layered issue and one that he couldn't seem himself discussing with anyone but Remi: he'd missed the man's calm and balanced opinions of the New Goddess.
The mention of Aoife, while to be expected, sent a little chill through Sam. It was that name he'd shouted on this very beach not that long ago. A part of him wanted to apologise, but the part that was beginning to learn how to navigate this new Remi thought better of mentioning it at all.
"I see. And I assume Safrin isn't living there?" He let out a soft, not quite laugh and shook his head. "Sorry, that's...a silly thought. ...Did you...ever think you'd end up here? With a husband on a beach, with a Demi-God child and...well, I've heard you're the Governor." Sam raised an eyebrow as if asking Remi to confirm this.
