Sam yang post coma (part 1)

[16:24]	Yi-Ping	After the talk with Gregor and the meeting with the boston pilots, Yang heads to Sam's room to catch up with the AT-Jesus. Seeing that he has his back turned against the door, she crept up behind him and shout "BOO!"
[16:25]	Sam	doesn't flinch "Hello Yang, how are you?"
[16:25]	Yi-Ping	"Awwww"
[16:26]	Yi-Ping	"Mmmmh I'm fine, just wanted to talk"
[16:26]	Sam	spins the chair around to face Yang, and then hugs her. "Thank you for saving the rings Yang. That. . . it meant a lot to me."
[16:27]	Yi-Ping	retuns the hug
[16:27]	Yi-Ping	"Its nothing, don't need to thank me for that"
[16:28]	Yi-Ping	"So, hows coma?"
[16:28]	Sam	"No it wasn't Yang. It must have been a rush getting out of there, and that you stopped and made the time to save some of my stuff? That really means a lot to me Yang."
[16:28]	Yi-Ping	"Well I'm light packer, that leaves plenty of time for me to go snooping through your room"
[16:28]	Sam	"That engagement ring is a family Heirloom, been in the family for 3 generations, my parents, my grandparents, and my great-grandparents."
[16:28]	Sam	"So, thank you Yang."
[16:29]	Yi-Ping	headpats Sam
[16:29]	Sam	"Enjoy it while you can short-stuff."
[16:29]	Yi-Ping	"Anything for you guys"
[16:29]	Yi-Ping	makes sure to pat every inche of Sam's head
[16:29]	Yi-Ping	"Yesss accept my lordship over you...."
[16:30]	Sam	"Never, I am a American, I will never accept a foreign oppressor!"
[16:31]	Yi-Ping	"That's what they usually say before being broken!"
[16:32]	Yi-Ping	reach down and lightly tickle Sam's sides
[16:32]	Sam	"But on the coma. . . Good point. . ." Sam smirks "Please be gentle Yang-sempai, it's my first time~"
[16:32]	Sam	giggles
[16:33]	Yi-Ping	"We both know that this isn't your first time Sam!"
[16:34]	Sam	" /always/ a first time for everything~"
[16:36]	Yi-Ping	"Does that include racy drawings? Because some of the stuff you drew are pretty suggesive"
[16:37]	Sam	"Yes, yes it is. If you /really/ want me to draw a racy picture of you I can."
[16:39]	Arkalest	Sam |Sam? Think about it.|
[16:39]	Sam	"Could do a portfolio even. . " Sam mumbles "Rin would prolly like it. . . ."
[16:39]	Arkalest	|Last time you were this impulsive you ended up elbow-deep in quivering fishflesh.|
[16:39]	Yi-Ping	"Only if I get to model with Shul- eh!?"
[16:40]	Arkalest	|Sure, it was /my/ fishflesh, but hey.|
[16:40]	Sam	|Hush, I've done more than see Yang naked, I have *been* Yang naked.|
[16:40]	Sam	"mm, you'd have better luck asking Jane or something if you wanted a partner."
[16:41]	Yi-Ping	"Jane would transform it into a full blow porn production ..."
[16:41]	Sam	"Maybe, maybe not."
[16:41]	Arkalest	|Oooh yes I know.|
[16:43]	Yi-Ping	"Still, how are you feeling after your coma?"
[16:43]	Sam	"Well, physically speaking I feel like shit."
[16:44]	Sam	"Mentally? Fragile."
[16:44]	Yi-Ping	"Speaking from experience, that's nomal"
[16:45]	Sam	quirks his eyebrow "Yang, no offense, but my coma was /anything/ but normal."
[16:45]	Yi-Ping	"Oh?"
[16:46]	Sam	"Well for one. I died."
[16:46]	Sam	"I /saw/ Yang, I saw where it is we go when we die. I was /this/ close to it."
[16:47]	Yi-Ping	"But you didn't ... die for good ..."
[16:48]	Sam	"Not for good no, but I died all the same. And after. .  I spent time within myself, exploring who I am, what I am unflinchingly."
[16:49]	Yi-Ping	"... Exploring yourself? Like a vision quest?"
[16:49]	Arkalest	|S
[16:50]	Arkalest	|You make it sound like masturbation.|
[16:50]	Sam	"Pretty much. And I found that I was. . . barely holding together, a person holding themselves up with duck-tape and slap-jobs to try and make it through tomorrow without concern of the next year."
[16:50]	Sam	|I do not need running commentary Tiamat.|
[16:50]	Yi-Ping	looks at Sam ... and slowly begin clapping
[16:51]	Sam	gives Yang a curious look
[16:52]	Yi-Ping	"Congradulations! You have finally figure out what we been trying to ram through your skull for the past several months!"
[16:52]	Arkalest	|I think that she knew you more than you could imagine, especially due to having shared your memories and all. |
[16:52]	Sam	|I do not dispute that.|
[16:53]	Sam	"Yes well I didn't fully grasp it in till then. But then I. . . encountered something that broke me, all of that stuff came crashing down. If Tiamat had not helped me recover then I would not have survived."
[16:53]	Sam	"I broke."
[16:54]	Yi-Ping	"... What happened?"
[16:55]	Sam	"I was tested. I passed, but the test broke me all the same."
[16:55]	Yi-Ping	"You're in a coma, you can't be doing any test"
[16:55]	Sam	smiles
[16:56]	Sam	"My body was asleep Yang, but my mind? my soul? They remained awake."
[16:56]	Yi-Ping	"You mean you sync with something?"
[16:57]	Sam	"It's a private matter Yang. I will not speak further on it save for the consequences. I broke, and Tiamat gave me a foundation to rebuild. I spent the remainder of my time working upon that foundation."
[16:59]	Yi-Ping	"I-I see ... even your coma is weird"
[17:00]	Yi-Ping	"But ... you said that you were broken but you rebuilt?"
[17:00]	Sam	"Sort of, Tiamat laid the foundation, something I am most grateful for. At the moment I am. . . rebuilding myself if you may."
[17:01]	Sam	"The metaphors should not be taken too literally here
[17:01]	Yi-Ping	"Its magical soul stuff, got it."
[17:01]	Sam	"Yes, AT Jesus and what not."
[17:02]	Yi-Ping	"... That reminds me, did you by any chance look out of the medical pod's window?"
