"...A...room?" Sam asked, turning to look at Isla and racking his brain to work out what she meant. She had barely been back a week, so it seemed unlikely she could know Ascended secrets he didn't....though he supposed he wasn't very popular. Feeling rather out of the loop, he meekly asked: "Can you...eat things and taste them in there and so on?"
Not a Demi God, but asleep for a long time - he supposed if he got to live for hundreds of years, he might spend some of it sleeping too. "Oh. I wonder what it's like to be that old. I guess...one day we might know...it kind of scares me." Sam glanced across at Isla to see what her thoughts were on the topic, not wanting to bring the mood down yet again with a mention of what his specific fears were (though they were predictable problems of the ageless; friends dying, times moving on).
"Great. Yes." He grinned, honestly glad to have an excuse to stay out of the frontlines for Longnight, but also for the project. "I'll help with anything. I...I've seen a lot. I'm not scared of too much anymore." that was a lie
Stepping off the final step and into the lower level, Sam went to a shelf not far from the door and began to look across the books, a finger gently brushing past each leather dustjacket as he read the titles, looking for the beginnings of what constituted the main medical collection. "It's mostly here...there are some books about praying to the Gods for health too, but...I assume that isn't what you're looking for, right?"
