To find forgiveness in the weeds
"Um..." Sam hesitated, wondering first how it was that Kaimana knew he was Ascended; then he remembered he had yelled it out while he had been trying to address the Prince. He didn't know if he was totally happy with a non-Ascended stranger knowing that, given he wasn't sure of Kaimana's opinions...but it was out now. "Ah...I think we just have better hearing than most people. But I was concentrating on what I'm trying to do."
It seemed Kaimana wasn't going to leave him to it, and honestly Sam, as much as he was a little anxious, was glad for the company. The caves were dark, too quiet, and this creature he was looking for...it frightened him. "I don't need a prince, or at least...not just any prince. I'm looking for the Prince. He's...an Ascended, like me, I think. But he's...sick. I was hoping I could see if I could help make him better, but I can't find him."
