I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
Oh, Sam knew from the moment Nate spoke that he'd messed this up (though, he would wonder later, was there actually a right way to do it? He didn't know if there was any way to talk his way through this one); he took a step back as Nate came forward, not meeting the man's eyes. There had been a time, however brief, where he'd found Nate's size and power comforting, impressive: knowing how it felt to have it turned against him was terrifying and he didn't use any of his upgrades to fight, not knowing if he deserved to in this particular situation.
Then came the impact. He supposed he should have been expected it but he flew back, landing on his back and hands on the road with a short yell; he didn't feel the pain but he certainly felt the shame of it, sitting up and raising a hand to his jaw in shock. As much as he had come to share sympathy with Nate, to offer his apology...the words stung more than the punch ever could and Sam found himself pressing his lips together as he looked off to the side as he tried to think of what to say that wouldn't cause more trouble.
"I think you know it was supposed to help people." He said quietly, then pushed himself back up onto his feet, standing now a little distance away from Nate. "Believe what you'd like, but I had good intentions...I..Rexanna is one of my dearest friends and I will feel that loss forever. But you need to listen to me. I have things to talk to you about."

And I, I think I know just what that means
Just what that means
