Well, at least Sam didn't have to handle explaining this bizarre situation then. He recalled the last time Ren had been here -- he'd thought they'd be captured by slavers or something? Sam decided not to bring that up, but if that had been his reaction before chances were Ren was being skeptical of the situation if nothing else. Overly cautious and quick to find a weapon, that was the Ren he remembered encountering before.

"That must have been a little weird. Did you have anything left at the mill? I think that's where you and that guy with the red hair were staying," Sam asked. He knew some of the stuff had been reclaimed by the other villagers: rope and probably some sheets or something. Nothing went to waste around here. But he wasn't sure if Ren would have been the type to leave writing or other signs of his time here behind in the mill. Sam hadn't really gone out that way much after Ren and the other guy had left.

Ren's positioning isn't lost on Sam. He doesn't really make any moves closer or to hinder that either. After all, if Ren wants to take off running out of the house Sam isn't going to stop him. He nodded at the question though, "Yeah. I share it with one other person, but he's out for the moment." At least, he assumed Steve was out. The guy surely would have heard the racket from earlier if he was home. "It's not much, but it's better than freezing to death."
