By Christ, you are delectable
So hop up on to this pedestal
Everyone began to eat and Sam sipped at his drink, more aware than ever of the differences between him and most of the people he loved. It hurt, sometimes, not being able to share in the physical, tactile parts of being human; he supposed non-Ascended didn't consider it much, but he so badly wished he could join them all in eating and feeling of this event.
Still, that was only background irritation compared to the panic he felt as tension grew between him and Amalia: she had to know, right? He only laughed at the comment that he had been there right after, having realised right after he'd asked that it was stupid.
"Hm?" Sam looked at Deimos, distracted, before he worked out he'd been asked a question. "Oh, um - well, I just established my cartography shop. I'm still working on stock before it really opens, but I think it's been coming along well; it's an interesting challenge...though I have been thinking I could make a few books too, for old times sake." He doubted Deimos was truly interested, but it was nice of him to make an effort for conversation.
Luckily, Evie reminded him of something he'd actually wanted to talk about. "Oh, um, no, I don't know how things work well enough to be in government here: but I meant to congratulate you. Queen. Has mother been in contact yet? I'm sure she must have sent a letter about how thrilled she was." His eyes met Evies with a familiar tired amusement: they both knew the fake enthusiasm they could expect once their mother discovered a child had done something that would make her look good. "Do you have plans for the Hollowed Grounds....?"
