Isn't. I realized that back when I had people from my world here. Not to mention most of my closest friends are also steeped in the supernatural. [Sam, of course, but also Jo, and Faith. Even in Wonderland, with its differences and its downtime, things haven't changed all that much. She keeps company with a vampire sometimes. She's got a dark object tucked away in her room. So it's not entirely that different from home, either.
She arches an eyebrow when he says he isn't that nice though. It fits in, mind. Sam puts others ahead of himself constantly, in terms of who needs to be protected, who needs to be helped. That sort of person doesn't typically see their good qualities without the mirror of someone else's perspective to peer into. So as he always does, he downplays his own impact, trying to shine an admiring light on Cami while refusing to let her do the same.
For the record? That's not so nice of a thing to do.]
One day, I'm going to get you to accept a compliment without you undermining it. [One day. But in the present, Cami suddenly feels the warm of Sam's hand on hers, and she has to admit, she isn't expecting it. That doesn't make it at all bad, though. She turns her hand around to wrap her fingers around his, trying to decide just where this might lead.]
Have you ever stopped to think that giving you those stupid hats is special for me too? [That he is special, and important. He says she'd be fine if he were to go, and in time, sure. Cami's dealt with loss before, and she knows how the process goes.
She knows how much it hurts, even when she knows that in enough time, she'll be fine.]

That's something that's just between us.
