Sam couldn't help but laugh at Zeph's guess towards his age. He knew he looked younger than he was, but it felt like eons had passed since he had been twenty two, with everything that had happened. He'd always thought when he'd looked in the mirror what he lacked in physical aging he more than made up for in the tiredness in his eyes. Maybe that was hard to see in the dark night. "I'm twenty seven. I...look young, for my age." He wasn't sure why he was hiding that he was Ascended to this man, but the words were out before he had a chance to consider it. "You cannot be that much older than me."
The smuggler's face upturned to the moon was an attractive sight and quite a romanticised way to hear a tale, the sort of framing device one might find in an old mariner's adventure book. It was quite fascinating to see the sudden change in Zeph, the man suddenly becoming someone else as the story overtook him: Sam couldn't help the smile. "And..did you see the walls? The crown?"
