"'Outlander'? Is that what you call people who've been dragged here?" Arialla imagined finding someone from home, how much less alone that would make her feel. "Yes, I suppose I'll have to talk to him."
She saw Sam's surprise at her laughter and had a brief, worried thought that she might have offended him. Only now did it occur to her that maybe she shouldn't have dismissed his beliefs out of hand; that had been rude, especially as he had gone out of his way to be kind to her. But still: "I wouldn't say that where the gods can hear, if I were you."
Another laugh, but this one more self-deprecating. "Yes, I know what a cat is, and no, I don't mind them."
