It was very rare that anyone in the Hollowed Grounds was actually okay, so Sam didn't push Henry for any further answers; he'd talk if he wanted to. A lot of people didn't bother asking anymore, had stopped around last Longnight.
"You write? I could always help you make your stories into books, if you'd like." He offered, quite excited about the idea of such a project; just the thing to ease back into bookmaking and selling, discovering a new person's work. Sam gently moved his paper to the side and pulled out a book that when he opened it, bore thousands of tiny scribbled notes, of books bought and sold, jobs to do, things he had completed.
Henry's insistence that he had to have good stories distracted him from whatever he was about to do, though. Sam laughed and rubbed the back of his neck, looking off towards the window. He certainly did have stories, but a lot of them he didn't want to tell; he searched his mind for one that ended at least somewhat happily. "Well...I've been to each region on missions for the Voice. I recently went to the Climb; have you ever been there? It's an awful place."
