Re: Chapter 2 - Sam Davis
"Aw, Tex..." Sam hesitates, "I grew up in a weird place, and I haven't been out in the larger world all that long, but it's been long enough to see what you're talking about. But where I grew up, we had plenty of reason to be aware that how something looked or what it was made of didn't necessarily dictate what it was or what it did...
I'm rambling. My point is that as far as I'm concerned you and Luci are people worth just as much as anyone else. But your stance is absolutely justified, based on what you've probably seen and experienced - even just based on the little I've seen - and if you'd rather not interact with me past business, I totally understand."
I'm super bad at social interaction, so my characters' attempts at it tend to be a bit stilted even when they're theoretically really good at it like Sam, so a roll might be called for here... Charisma+Empathy, maybe? I don't know. Basically I'm just saying I'm aware I suck at this stuff but that shouldn't mean Sam does :P
