Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
Well, it was immediately clear that Sam had made the wrong choice in answering honestly. Amun was visibly mad and he grimaced, already wondering how he could best make a swift exit; he supposed the least he could do was hear Amun out.
He wasn't expecting the flurry of questions and without thinking gave answers, caught by surprise and running on instinct. "I left because I've always had...issues with things the Voice does, and how she does them, and how the Ascended are...essentially trapped in her service. I wanted to see if I could survive without her. ...I couldn't, so I'm back, and now I'm trying harder to see things her way." With mixed results.
As for other Ascended... "Wessex stabbed me, so I think I'm allowed to be a little cautious." It was unlike Sam to be so confrontational but in this one instance, he felt justified. "Specifically because I had left the Voice, so I'm nervous other Ascended might take similar issue and hurt me. That is why I'm wary of Ascended." Automatically his hand went to his stomach, where the faintest of scars remained from the attack.
It seemed though that this was all more of a personal matter for Amun as the man went on and Sam took a cautious step inside. "..I...I always assume people would rather be rid of me, but if you'd have me, I'd love to have a new friend. If it wouldn't bother you, I could visit when I'm in the Grounds."

And fuck you for making me
Think that this life might be fair
