Well he couldn't argue that he didn't need this, because obviously he did; having someone there to talk to and just let it out rather then keeping it in. Course it felt a little weird to tell Iskandar considering he was talking about his future self in all this, but it also felt... nice because the man could also relate to what he was going through in a way.

The fingers running through his hair is definitely helping and Sam leans more heavily into Iskandar, pretty much the only reason he was sitting up at all at this moment. "Never easy, I agree. I know this, but at the same time I'm... very conflicted. Everyone... and you, it all happened, I witnessed it, and now I'm back and... I'm stuck with this sense of mourning but at the same time everything is fine, you're all here." He couldn't quite place the feeling.
