[Sam looks understandably wary as an older woman addresses him the minute he steps out. He's a guy with a lot of patience, but at this point it's beginning to slip. He'd let his anger fade while in the Mirror Maze though and by now he just looks tired.

But the minute he notices this lady's eyes, he's on guard, reminded of the Yellow-Eyed Demon. What would be a nice subtle way to slip in "Christo" here? ...There probably wasn't one.]

A way back to where I was before showing up here would be nice, if you're offering. But I get the feeling the answer's either not going to be given easily or I'm not going to like it when I hear it.

[There's no actual hostility coming from him here, nor is it an accusation of any sort, but it's not exactly openly friendly either.]
