Sam had grown so used to his barrier and it's usage he hadn't even considered how Evie might react to it; he turned with a slightly confused expression at first, then realised she likely had never seen it before. "Oh, thank you. It's...very useful, The Voice gave it to me." Obviously.
Sighing as he lifted a shoe covered in orange goop, he tried his best to wipe it off by the door before stepping further in. "Yes, that's probably best. I..need to talk to you, that's all. Don't worry, it's not anything bad." Following her further into the shop to wherever she took them, he would pause and take a breath before looking her in the eyes and wondering if it was best to just come out with it right away or go around for a moment.
Luckily, his anxiety-ridden blabbermouth mind made the decision for him. "I know you're Abandoned. Um. It's alright, with me, if you were...wondering." He added the second part hastily, unsure if she would think he was trying to accuse her of something.
Samuel
I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
