Sam looked surprised to see Evie approach him but simply smiled at her, held Nate's hand a little tighter. Whatever was about to happen, he knew well enough from experience that things in Caido grew dangerous quickly, so he wanted to appreciate the people around him.
As it happened, the only occurrence was the appearance of a genie - not that that was not amazing in of itself, the man captivating Sam with his half-human, half-smoke body; he thought to record it later for a book, thought how he could capture the twisting tendrils of smoke in an illustration with his limited skills.
The question though...that gave him pause. Both Evie and Nate requested something of the genie, but Sam felt himself instinctively leaning away from that option. This felt like a test. Something a hero would be given in a legend to try his selfishness; something he had to resist the temptation of.
"I would give you a boon." He replied softly, daring to look into the genie's eyes.

Sam offers a boon for the genie.
Samuel
I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
