[ Sam’s never really reached out to the Nest in general like this before, but at this point - well, he’s running out of options. The work he’s done on his mental walls has paid off, and nothing escapes his thick cloud layer except his words, and the soft hint of wind and feathers that flavors his mental link. ]

( Seems like we got a bit of down time, and I’m looking to put it to good use. I’m getting better with my symbiote ability, but I need someone who’ll let me practice it with them.

Simple explanation is that it’s healing, with a side effect that means it’s gonna hurt. Most likely for me. I can get into specifics if you’re up for it. ) [ If it doesn’t bother them or they’re willing to overlook that it means Sam getting hurt, he means, but seeing as he’s communicating with the Nest in general, he’s not gonna say that.

He already knows more than who person who is bothered by it and never seems willing to let Sam use it on them. ]

( I’ll take as many as I can get, more training can’t hurt. )

[ It's a feeling that Sam can relate to. For all his general since of honesty and openness, there are many things that Sam keeps secret, as best as he can. Always has been, and the connection he shares with everyone here doesn't negate that. It just makes his desire to respect privacy more important.

He waits just as quietly as Bellamy processes that. Sam's not exactly sure what he thinks about it, either - whether Loke committed suicide rather than be forced to give more information or whether this Enemy that they're all fighting killed him before he could. ]

( It's not what I expected, either. ) [ There's a pause, as though Sam's considering just leaving it at that, but then makes the decision to let himself be a little more forthcoming, a little more vulnerable. ] ( I couldn't stop it, man, you get why I need to be able to control what I can do better? )
