All things that Sam had done as a kid - and honestly, well into his teenage years and even more recently.

Despite everything, Sam's eyebrows raise right on up back at Kurloz when he tells him not to dare him. "Yeah? You can try, Makara, if you're actually thinking you got a shot. I promise not to gloat too much over your disappointment."

This is probably a terrible idea, but Sam goads him on anyway. It's what he's used to - he and Riley'd always done it to each other, it's so damn nice to fall back onto it.
