( Someone killed a member of your brood, Sam. And I am deeply sorry for that loss. I thought, like Ren, that we could have found them. We could have gained information from them, and we could have had some small measure of peace, of satisfaction.

That is what I offered, nothing more or less. The same as you do. )

[ he understands the need to keep the peace, but seriously? let a huntsman hunt. ]

( I would not hurt the nest. Or you. I may not agree with you or what you do, but I respect you. )

( You didn't honestly think he was in any state to start a freaking investigation right then, did you?

What would've been help is if someone started scavenging for pieces of that bomb, or talking to the others about what they might've seen. But because everyone was too concerned either trying to get away from Ren's rampage, or stop it, no one had time for that. )

[ they're going to find who planted that bomb and there'll be hell to pay, because Sam may have a stronger moral compass that half the people here, but he's no saint. but the chances it would've been someone lying around at the time Ren finally snapped are absurdly small. why would the bomber put themselves inside the blast range? ]

( Tell that to Steve's swollen face. ) [ snapped out a little too fast, and sam takes a moment to mentally breathe, before coming back to it. ] ( Look, I'm not interested in watching my ass inside the Nest anymore than anyone else is. So let's say you were trying to help, and it just went sideways and call that it. We can agree that what we both want is to protect this Nest, right? )

( Of course not. ) [ he KNEW what he was doing. he's told sam as much, and is loathe to repeat himself.

in fact, he's just plain loathe to continue this patronizing, directionless conversation. sam won't listen to him, he has it all figured out already. ]

( I was already clear about my intentions regarding the nest. Brood, or nest - you are all mine.

Please. Let us we reconvene later, after everyone else has recovered. )

[ and that would be his very, very polite dismissal of you, mr anders. literally just kicking him out and severing their conversation with all observed courtesies. ]

[ he can’t honestly make any real sense out of what the Darkling’s saying, doesn’t understand the logic, or how it came out the way it did. How it turned into him insisting on fueling Ren while he was kicking the crap out of Steve. How giving him that boost had anything to do with comfort to begin with.

But he’s just as done with this as the Darkling is. They aren’t seeing eye to eye and he doubts they will. There’s a mental note to watch him, watch what he does with Ilde and Ren, but otherwise, he’s letting it go for now.

Larger things to worry about. With a vague sentiment of agreement, he lets the connection go as well. ]
