there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
"She...she's trying, I suppose." Sam shrugged, unsure of how to quantify his awkward relationship with Amalia. Zeph was right though: he'd thought for a while he could really do with a new circle of friends, which was why he'd been so excited about the prospect of coming somewhere else for a season. Maybe, he hoped, Zeph might become a friend.
The tone shifted as Zeph set out his rules and Sam nodded with a small grin. "Oh, don't worry. I'm tired of talking about the Gods. I've recently been trying to live life much more independently of the Voice anyway." Not that he'd been entirely successful at that, but when he needed to go back to her for fluid every 2 weeks it was difficult to be entirely separate; it had crossed his mind that he could try and find a way to get the fluid elsewhere, but that felt too much like admitting he wanted to leave.
"So." Sam clapped his hands on his thighs, eager to move on. "To pay you back for the lodgings, I could clean up? ..N..not to be insulting. I just. I noticed you had some dishes and um--" Rambling in a panic now that he'd accidentally called Zeph's house out for being a tip, Sam laced his fingers together. "--I could do that. If you wanted. But really, it's your house, so it's not my place, of course."

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