[ sam laughs, then - an easy and bright kind of sound - in response to jaskier's wink. alright, alright, so jaskier can hang. that's something both refreshing and grounding and sam makes a note to take that into account with his kidding around.
and when jaskier stands, sam follows suit, taking the offered hand for the shake. he doesn't neary feel as uncomfortable as he had just a few minutes ago, and part of him wonders if that's something to do with jaskier. easy to talk to, easy to be around. ]
You and me both, and hey- I appreciate you coming by. I get the feeling we're all going to need to stick together. [ sam flashes him another smile and squeezes jaskier's hand, just once. an emphasis for the words to follow. ] But also know that if you need anything, at all, I'm here. Whatever it is.
[Jaskier grips him back warmly, the handshake easy, casual. Gods, if Jaskier wasn't a flatterer himself, he could see himself easily bowled over by Sam's... well, his whole thing. He smiles easily, but without malice. His words aren't carefully picked, but they come so easily, without pretention or expectance.
He covers Sam's hand with his other, holding in both of his own for a moment, a squeeze to match. Ah. This could be fun -- in another place, it already would be.]
I'm very glad I came. [Tempting as it is to peck his cheek, Jaskier's curling smile is enough for now.] I'll take those words to heart, Sam, and extend the same. In this, we're together.
[It leaves him with some sort of... not optimism, exactly, but a warmth. It's always worth having strong friends, even if not of the political sort.]
