And you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world beautiful
Sam raised his eyebrows at Henry's sudden personal question, though more out of uncertainty about how to answer it than any offense. Really, of all the things about him, his lack of sensing temperature was really the least to blame for any loneliness. "Not really...being able to feel less than the average person sounds awful when you say it, but I've been Ascended for so long now I hardly notice. For a while, I regained most of my smell, taste and pain...it was good, in some ways, but bad in others." He shrugged. Truthfully, the worst thing about being Ascended when it came to closeness with others was the lack of sexual pleasure, but that was not something he wanted to tell Henry about.
It seemed that Henry came to something of a conclusion after he'd spoken, though his readiness to accept his potential death was a little concerning. "If you've survived in the Grounds, through our Longnights...I think you'll be fine. There's little out there that's worse, so." In Sam's experience, the Longnight monsters had been the worst foes he'd faced, as far as beasts went. "So you will explore then?"
