Hope for the best

Sam smiled, the promise that he might meet Remi's son symbolic to him of how far their relationship had come since it had hit absolute rock bottom on the Ahi coast; while where they were now was not what he'd once dreamt of, it was better than he could have imagined a couple of seasons ago, and it was enough.

He'd always found Remi's opinions on Old and New, the Ascended and the Demi Gods fascinating; the man was a servant of Ludo, honoured by the Old Gods, yet seemed unwilling to agree with them with many issues, never truly sticking to his alignment. Sam nodded grimly, hearing what he had thought of the Order confirmed. "Do you...think they'll get anywhere with that goal?" He asked carefully.

Relieved that Remi did not push further into his problems, he nodded with a sigh. "Nowhere else to go. It's familiar, at least, and I've missed working on my books. No one took the house while I was gone, and the shop is basically as I left it...just dustier." He wrinkled his nose, never having been fond of cleaning. "Making an entirely fresh start is hard...Outlanders have my respect."

Wait all your life to see what you see
