there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
The lizard's show of defiance didn't really bother Sam until suddenly there was a wet tongue on his nose and he stumbled back with a little yell, hands over his face. Zeph shortly came in and that was when Sam realised that Ki was the strange creature. His hands dropped slowly as he turned to watch Zeph go back into the side room, Sam unable to stop himself blinking in surprise. He had been worried on the way to the house that he might be too weird for Zeph: it seemed that was not going to be the case.
He tried his best to be polite and not listen to the 'conversation' Zeph had behind the closed door. Sam often had chats with Mia (who was staying with a neighbour for Deepfrost: she had not fancied the sound of Torchline, a Grounder cat through and through) so he didn't find it too weird that the man might talk to his chameleon. Words drifted through, words like 'kitten' and 'harmless'...he wasn't quite sure what was going on, but Sam was pretty sure Zeph was speaking about him.
Was he that defenseless? He supposed the other man didn't know he was Ascended, which as the moments dragged on was something he felt more weird about. Was it fair to tell him, if he was going to be living in his house? Sam was still mulling this over when Zeph and Ki re-emerged. "Oh, I see. Well, um...hello, Ki. I'm sorry if I startled you." He said as kindly as he could, trying to smile at the tiny creature.
Deciding, lizard introductions aside, that he had to say something, Sam took a breath to prepare himself then spoke. "There is something you should know. If I'm to stay here, because it might, I suppose, be an issue for you? I hope not, but...well, I'm Ascended."

if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
