Samuel
An open field that's framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Sam smiled and nodded, glad to see his books going to someone that would appreciate them. As much as it was nice to make a living and run his store, he'd always just wanted to make things that would bring people happiness - he wasn't often reminded of that nowadays. "You're welcome."
As for wishing for an earlier time or being thankful for the lack of friends...he could only shrug. Having been born here, he'd never had an alternative. "I do wonder what life would have been like here if the Voice never brought any Outlanders at all." He paused, then realising that could sound offensive, shook his head and continued abruptly: "--I mean, not that it would be better. necessarily. But it would be different."
Longnight monsters had been such a regular horror in his life it was hard to believe they were truly gone, but he nodded anyway. "Yes. They still exist in some places, but...I don't think you'll see them as much as we used to. I saw too many people hurt and lost to those things." Sighing, he ran a finger along the edge of his desk, then his eyes flicked up to Cam's face. "Do you know about their origin?"

All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
