Sam blinks at the command, hesitating momentarily since he was not expecting that to happen. At least not after being hissed at and threatened; perhaps after some time had passed. When he thinks about it though, there is a large amount of relief that washes over him, that Kirk believed him.

After a moment Sam realizes he's been quiet and just staring, blinking again to bring himself out of his slight daze. Slowly a grin pulls at his lips. "In the middle of the market?" he teases quietly, even though he leans in halfway to do just that. For him it is rather amusing since the Kirk he knew wasn't one for such public displays of affection.
