He wasn't there when Asher was brought to the tents, so when he hears that the man was brought back the first thought is amusing, trying to figure what he did this time to land him back here rather then with his own healer - probably pissed Christine off or the like and she dragged him here after. Course when he finds the tent that Asher is being kept in, the faces on his companions' faces were rather sullen, full of pain and grief. Asher wasn't here because of something silly or idiotic, something was seriously wrong.

Before he even gets to go in the dwarves recognize him - the weird human who turned into a fluffball - and take him to the side before he can enter. The explanation is short, since it seems they're having a hard time talking about it. It takes several minutes for Sam to think about the news, fully process it. It just didn't seem right.

After a time though Sam approaches the tent again, and slowly pulls back the tent flap and enters. "Back here again?" There's a smile on his face - he's trying - and he tries to make it sound like he's teasing - it sounds strained even to him.
