i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Seeing Sam in such a state... well, to say that it was just the slightest bit worrying would be a massive understatement. Even if he and Sam had never truly gotten as close as he would've wanted as friends, he had always known her to be a fairly stable presence, or at least a tough one. In her current state, however? She seemed to be a totally mess, and that filled him with worry very quickly – which wasn't to say it was difficult to fill Aurum with worry, but this was an even more harrowing case. As Sam stumbled towards him, Aurum frowned, stepping forward to close the different between them. He winced a little when she brushed against his wounded and bandaged up chest, her touch causing the slightest burn to rip up his body, but he didn't push her away, just wrapping his arms fully around her and holding her close. A firm frown on his face, the proxy watched her for a long moment before speaking in a soft and warm voice, trying to lull her from her shocked trancelike state, "Sam...? Sam, Jesus... it's good to see you again. It's good to see you alive. We should... we should get back to town. You need to eat something, and get patched up, and then you can catch up with everyone again... you don't look so good. I can carry you, if you need me to." He wasn't actually sure if he was gonna get any sort of verbal confirmation from the female of absolutely anything, but he wanted to at least attempt to before he just picked her up in his jaws and carried her back to town.
