[ sam considers everything martin tells him with a thoughtful nod. it would make sense, and if this world they're in is one that has a history this long, could magic like that be forgotten? were gods going to end up like thor, back home, and just drop down into their business one day?

it's a lot to take in, and sam is quiet for a few moments as he thinks it over. which, apparently, happens to be the wrong time to go quiet, because martin is suddenly looking nervous and worried and sam is quick to shake his head. ]

No, no, man- don't worry. This is all super important to know and is completely out of my element. And I was the one who asked, so you're not wasting anyone's time. [ sam gives martin a smile, encouraging, before he shakes his head. ]

But you have a point, this is supposed to be a party and I'm sitting here interrogating you about what you're learning. I don't want to take up all your time - any chance you're like, recording all this info somewhere?
