[ sam nods and accepts the chair that she offers him, feeling oddly like he's back home, having a meeting with a senator, but with so much different about this than home, the feeling comes and passes quickly. he shakes his head at the offer of a drink, smiling politely enough. ]

No, thank you, though. I'm alright. [ he wants to keep looking around the room, see if there's anything else about the woman in front of him that he can glean from the decorations, but he brings himself back to the moment. to the conversation. ]

Sam Wilson- [ since she made mention of introductions. ] And I definitely wouldn't call the city uncivilized. [ it's said with an open sort of appreciation. even if this entire place is....well. old school comparatively, sam feels much more at home here than thorne. ]

Honestly, I wanted to thank you for your hospitality. You've been incredibly welcoming for all of us, despite how many just sort of dropped in on your doorstep.
