there's an ocean in my body
there's a river in my soul
Sam, completely unawares of Zeph's mini-breakdown, just waited to see what the pause was about. It was a shame he didn't know what was going on behind the man's eyes really, because if anyone could sympathise with socially-brought-on spirals, it was Samuel. When Zeph finally came back to the present and asked him for, of all things, dating tips, he almost had one himself.
"I just meant it as a turn of phrase." Sam said with an awkward laugh, but obliged anyway as he stepped through the door. "I don't know if I really have any tips...I actually, um, left a...well, not quite a relationship, but someone I had feelings for before coming here. Before that I've only had two relationships and neither of them ended well." Sometimes he wasn't sure if he'd rather had none of his boyfriends at all, but he supposed it was nice to be the one with experience for once. "...I'm honestly surprised you need tips or that you don't live with someone. You seem..normal, and handsome enough--um--"
Recovering from the pain of calling a stranger handsome, Sam tried to slide past it. "..I'm just saying that I thought you'd have somebody."
