Sam finds it refreshing to receive from kindness from someone who isn't getting paid to take care of him. Escaping from the hospital wasn't the wisest choice he ever made, but what other alternative did he have? Die in that depressing room? As long as nobody gets hurt, he won't regret his decision.
"Wow. Modern and traditional, huh? That's really something." The compliment from Sam is genuine. He accepts the sketchbook from Thanuel, appreciating having something tangible in his hands to help ground him to reality. He starts flipping through the sketchbook once Thanuel gives him permission to look. "These are good. I actually took an art history class back in college." The memory feels like a lifetime ago. Everything was so different back then. "How long have you been drawing for?" he asks, wanting to take the focus away from himself.
