"Wait until we get back, and I show up unexpected at your door with cinnamon rolls." He says when, because he can't say anything else but.

He doesn't bat an eye when Kurloz suggests putting crickets in the pancakes. Fresh from Signless's crowning and the food served there, it's far from a surprise - and of all the kinds of bugs Sam's eaten during training and overseas, crickets are one of the few he actually enjoyed. "They got chocolate covered crickets back where you're from? They were a hit back home."

By "hit" he means one of the army guys they were stationed with had a bag of them and there was a lot of daring people to eat them, until Sam and the other new PJs cleaned him out and bought another bag. After living five days mostly off scavenged bugs, chocolate covered crickets were a treat. But same thing.

Sam makes a face at Psiioniic when he says he's not fit to move, all exaggerated offense. "I'm a pararescueman, when I put stitches in something, they stay there." It's been a while since he got to do the Air Force braggart thing, and even if there's no army guys to tease, no Riley to back him up, it's still kind of nice.

He doesn't really protest it, though, just digs around in his bag and pulls out his other hunting knife, offering it over.
