there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
Zeph wasn't the only one to hesitate as they approached the door. Sam, ever full of anxiety, was beginning to fear that he might have intruded into this man's life too far, especially as he called out for this 'Ki'; he stepped inside nervously and slowly, looking this way and that for the woman he expected, barely even noticing the mess. When no one appeared he frowned, confused, but for the moment didn't say anything: maybe she wasn't home...?
As the moment passed Sam began to observe the home itself a little more. The empty jugs and plates...well, he decided the moment Zeph wasn't looking, he'd be doing some dishes. It would be a nice way to pay him back and personally, since he hadn't eaten regularly in years, he found dirty dishes a particularly egregious mess. Everything else was par for the course really, and he came forward to look at the map, fingers tracing over the corner. "Oh, I'm sure it's not so ba-- wait, what?" Zeph disappeared into the room and Sam was left once again to whip his head around in search of this 'Ki'.
With a sigh he went to reach for his bag, intending to find something to pay Zeph with for the room (some...socks? Goddess, Sam, what are you thinking) when he froze, seeing...something attempting to get inside. "Hey!" He reached out to try and gently push away the little thing, unsure what it was but not wanting it to get into his possessions. "Zeph, there's a...little...lizard thing here..?" Perhaps it was some kind of pest common in Torchline houses?

No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
