Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
"Oh. Why did she make us a boat?" Sam asked, intrigued: as far as he knew, the Ascended didn't have too much of a reason to be sailing the ocean, but the Voice often had secret plans that not all of the family knew of. He found that he'd still like to go on the boat though, always having loved the sea; he nodded. "I'd like that. Yes please."
Of course, Amun's patch continued to take his attention, the effect dazzling as the blue glow overtook his hand; while Sam couldn't see much practical use for it, he still found himself a little jealous of the upgrade, especially now that he was missing his own.
Now that he knew Amun apparently wanted to create an Ascended sailing crew, Sam felt admittedly somewhat anxious about having agreed to go with him; he knew nothing about sailing, had assumed he might spend the time watching the waves go by and lazing about on the deck. Still, he supposed he was trying to learn new skills... "Have you got any Ascended interested?"
He could only nod at the question about his parents, struggling to articulate a good explanation without getting into a lot of complicated and painful things. "Sort of. I mean more..when I was working, I could just let my mind go blank and do the work. I'd spent..my entire life up until that point watching what I did every second of the day. Any misstep would set off my father, so.." Sam shrugged, a sigh leaving his mouth. "When I could sit by myself and focus on just the craft, it was very comforting. No one watched me, only my work."

And fuck you for making me
Think that this life might be fair
