Most of his attention is on Kurloz, but he can still see the way Psiioniic reacts to Kurloz saying sir, to what Sam is figuring is a holdover of the Avoxing. They haven't talked about that much, not when there was other stuff that was a little more pressing. He can't ask either of them about it right now, but he does file it away for later. For when they're back in the Capitol, and there aren't quite as many cameras focused on them.

Now, he curls his hand tighter around his friend's, squeezing a little.

"Kurloz." Sam'd said he'd use Initiate unless it was just the two of them, but it's out before he can help it. If the 'sir' is any indicator, he's having trouble hanging onto himself. They might need him floaty and out of it to finish up, but they don't need him lost. "We need you here, brother, we just need you to stay here, and to stay you. Take Psiioniic's advice, okay? Count backwards from a hundred, count out loud."
