Settling In She's watched him wander the same way three times and when it starts to be a fourth, Merlan decides perhaps she ought to intervene, and does so, following the tall man with quick steps. By the time she catches up to him with a soft hey and a gentle tug on his sleeve, she realises just how tall he really is.
"Are you alright?" Dumb question. He's not alright or he wouldn't have been wandering aimlessly like this. "Can I get you anything? Tea?" Her eyes find his as she carefully scans his face for anything obvious. There's pain and then there's pain, one hurt she can address better than the other.
"Maybe an ale or beer," she murmurs a few beats later.
Poor Sam :(
