[ Sam has also been lost in the crowd for most of the night, drinking and dancing and charming his way into groups of people to talk among them as though he'd been with them his whole life. He fades away when the conversation ends to start all over again, gaining and losing ribbons without much thought to them.
Aside from the times he meets up with other hosts, it's an act just as much as it is him easing up and being more himself. There'd been a time when he had to relearn how to be a normal person, to fake it until he made it, and though his time in an underwater prison hadn't set him back that far - well, it feels good that he still remembers how to do it.
Sometime during the night he's acquired a ribbon crown, braided and twined around each other, and he wears it without shame along with the others at his wrists, biceps, and belts.
He finds Darkling in time for the end of the fight, and he watches those defeated and bloodied retreating for a moment before he turns to Darkling with a small smirk. ]
Don't have to tell me the other guy got it worse, I saw for myself, but you get injured?
