When Alphonse mentioned that she had named her cat after Eldonia's princess Sam made herself continue to smile casually. "That's exactly what I did, yes." She had noticed that Dorothea had remained silent and Sam decided that her not actually being a cat was Dorothea's secret to tell. She didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. Almost literally. She had to hide her smile when Florian told her about Alphonse's crush on Dorothea and at Alphonse's own response, and chanced a glance at the princess on her shoulder, biting her lip through her smile.

The smile faltered slightly when she was asked where she came from, and she looked down at her clothes when Alphonse called them peculiar. Sam supposed they didn't have denim jeans in this world and even if they did women wouldn't be wearing them. "Oh, my home is very far away from here." She wasn't sure if she should tell them exactly where she came from, as she had no idea how the people here would react to someone not from their world. Maybe they wouldn't have believed her. Or maybe it would have been worse. "My kingdom is um, in another country. It's so far away that I don't think you would have heard of it. I'm just visiting this land and I got a bit lost." There were enough almost truths to not make it a total lie.

She followed the three dwarves, stepping through the hole they had created where the front door had once been, and saw them making their way into the trees. Coralie and Florian had the Marshal held over their heads as they moved along. Sam felt impressed at their strength for a moment before hurrying after them. She's already run blindly through these woods once and that had not ended well.

Dorothea whispered into her ear and Sam's head tilted a bit to listen. Her fiance thought she had been taken by soldiers from Verinia, the kingdom Alphonse, Coralie, and Florian were from. And most likely where they were headed now. When Dorothea told her that her stepmother planned to start a war she looked over at her. "Why would she do that?" She looked back over at the dwarves who were leading the way and bit her lip in thought. "Maybe we should tell them. About who you are and the queen's plans. They obviously don't like her but they seem to like you fine. And they rescued us from her fortress when they didn't even know who we were." Sam met Dorothea's gaze and continued to whisper. "I think they could help us? Maybe take us to their capital and we could warn their king before Liam shows up? I don't think we could navigate through these woods on our own since I'm basically useless."
