Evie responded and Sam took a further step in, though held up a hand at her question. "Oh, nothing is wrong. Don't worry." While he was sure she wouldn't be happy about what he had to say, it wasn't an urgent problem or bad news. Thinking of news, though...it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't know if Evie knew about their new sibling.
Perhaps it would be a day of all kinds of revelations.
He opened his mouth to try and begin somehow, to find the right way to say what he had to...when a loud thud at the door cut him off. Sam stared as the wood began to buckle and become frail under the attack of...several gourds. "Um. They aren't usually so aggressive in towns..." He mumbled, but stepped forward to deal with the situation. "Evie, step back."
Sam had waited for weeks to come and talk to his sister this way, and he was not going to let some over-confident foodstuffs ruin that. Walking to the door he opened it, stepped outside so the gourds were in his radius, and activated his barrier, electrocuting them all.
Samuel
I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
