The chair Remi offered him had a pleasant view indeed and Sam couldn't help looking out of the window to the sea beyond as Remi sat down, only turning his head back once Remi began to speak. He supposed he was surprised he was here too, so he couldn't really be offended at the comments made, though he was well equipped to defend himself.
"Well, I'd like to think both me and Nathaniel are mature enough to not let our personal issues get in the way of something as important as LongNight preparation. I'm...hoping to mostly not see him." Sam shrugged. Torchline was a big enough place that it seemed entirely possible he would be here all Deepfrost and simply never run into Nate, who had to have his own schedule and things he did: that would be the ideal way for it to turn out.
As for his inexperience with Torchline, he shrugged. "None of the council have any particular familiarity with Torchline. Honestly, most of the other council members had reasons to stay in the Hollowed Ground. I didn't, so I volunteered for this. I'm...confident I can do it." If only Remi could remember how he'd once been, stuttering and unsure of his ability to even successfully do a day outside of his home. Now he was still nervous, still thinking over his words inside, but found that when they came out they were steady and he believed in what he was saying, knowing that this task was within his capabilities.
"I was hoping we might have a building in Haulani set aside for the Grounders that come through..?" He asked, hoping to get right to business.
