Have you found that everyone sticks to that? From what I've heard there isn't much honour at all around here." Not that he'd yet had a proper run in with the criminal side of Torchline (until now, he supposed).
The man came to squat behind him and Sam averted his eyes again, well aware of what lay beneath the surely gaping towel and not wanting to stare. An oddly quiet moment passed between them and Sam found himself looking back to the waves too, smiling faintly at the light. Maybe he didn't trust the man next to him (his hand continued to drift back to his pocket to check nothing had gone) but he was glad to appreciate the beauty before them with someone else.
"It is beautiful. I...wish I could stay, but I'm obligated to the Grounds." Thinking it was time for introductions if they were going to be having a conversation, Sam held out a hand towards his new companion. "I'm Samuel Wordsworth. I..work on the council in the Hollowed Grounds."
