"Wait wait- hold up. Are we talking about siding with the gods that Solvunn's out there worshiping? The same ones that the cult kidnapped people to try and get closer to?" Sam knows that isn't what Istredd means when he brings them up in this conversation, but he does feel like it's important to state that. To make sure they're taking that part of this whole conversation into account. He doesn't think finding other allies is a bad idea, either, but involving anything that involves faith, and religion, and something as complicated as the workings over in Solvunn, is just going to make everything they're doing even more complicated.
He sees the dark look cross Thancred's face at the mention of the draft in the Cities, and he can only nod. There is a lot about the possibility of that Sam is morally against, and that isn't even getting into all the people he knows who would not do well in a forced military situation. Geralt is definitely on that list.
The conversation moves on, though, and now it's Sam's turn to allow his expression to darken as he nods in agreement with Jaskier's correction. Whether or not the Summoned have been targeted as a whole, the Summoned have started making waves. Jaskier is a perfect example, someone that an everyday local would recognize, who they like. It's only a matter of time before individual Abraxans decide that they can get what they want using one of the Summoned for their own gains.
"To Jaskier's point- I think it would make more sense for all of us to find different threads. We can help each other out, but the more ground we can cover, the better; and the more we can keep each other up to date, the easier it'll be, too."
echoes the apology and the screaming
