Sam used to be a very organized, tidy person. But when you get transported to different times, places, that tidyness seems to go out the window. He grabbed his leather jacket and left the room with the book still open, the pen lying on the page he was writing on.

The elevator would only go so far, he had to make his way down the stairs, or what was left of them and finally managed to get down to the first floor. Cursing all the way.

He couldn't see anyone at the doors yet, so he waited, leaning against the wall and his head slightly lowered as he started thinking of everything that just happened.

He looked up for a moment and noticed a woman, smiling to herself as she came around the corner. Sam gave a poliet smile as she looked at him but her smile suddenly disappeared when she saw him.

This must be her... he thought, with a sigh as he picked himself up from the wall and gave and uncertain - worried smile.

There was no answer through the psychic bond she shared with her husband, and that gave Lucy pause again. Surely not... surely they wouldn't have nearly identical voices and identical features.

Then again...

Much stranger things had happened, in Paradisa. Peter had looked exactly like the skinny idiot Doctor.

So she mentally shrugged and crossed the remaining distance between them, holding out her hand in greeting.

"Ah um..." he stuttered and hesitated to take her hand for a moment. "You must be Mrs Saxon." Saying this reminded him of her husband, the guy that looked like him but in reality was nothing like him at all. Why would she marry such a man?

Sam let go of her hand and took a bit of a sigh, he didn't really know what to say, "Yeah, it's a...a bit of a shock..."

He kept up his poliet smile, he knew she couldn't reply (at least, not with words) and it made him feel slightly awkward.

Lucy nodded, and shook his hand with a smile, then shrugged as if to say "what can you do?" To which the answer was, of course, nothing. There would be no changing or avoiding the fact that Sam was virtually a twin to Harry, just the same as she could do nothing about having lost her voice. They would learn how to cope. Lucy, on the other hand, had never really confronted her own loss.

Maybe it was time she started doing so, she thought. So she pulled her journal and pen from their bag, flipped to the back, and scribbled: It is awkward, but we all become used to it. Then she handed it to Sam.

Sam read the words Lucy wrote at the back of the journal. "become used to it..." he muttered quietly. I guess after what happened to me this isn't very strange at all he thought.

"Well, where would you like to show me first?" There wasn't really a specific place Sam wanted to see, he wanted to see it all. Paradisa was like nothing he'd been through before.

Lucy gave him a sympathetic look as she took the journal back, and decided she'd show him the kitchen first. She rarely went herself as wishing for food usually made it appear, but knew some people preferred cooking for themselves.

So she beckoned him to follow her, hoping he didn't feel like he needed to stay silent. She had no other options, but he could talk as much as he liked, and she could always shake her head yes or no.

Sam smiled and followed her into the castle's kitchen. Sam wasn't the kind of person to wish for his food as he stayed in his room, maybe Gene would but he preferred to cook his own meals.

"Wow, it's nice..." he smiled, looking around, then turned to her. "I like to do my own cooking." He said with a nod.

He decided being silent was probably not the best option; would just make the whole experience awkward - especially for Lucy. Besides, Sam had always talked to people who wouldn't talk back - suspects, stubborn witnesses, why should he act any different now?

Sam then decided to look at the appliances, the fridge, the cooker, the blender. He could make a lot of fantastic meals with what he'd been given here.

Lucy figured the kitchen was self-explanatory, and stood back with a faint smile on her face as she watched Sam poke around. Then she re-opened her journal to write for when he got back to her.

There's a rather posh dining room next door, but you don't seem like the kind who would use it.

Sam finally finished poking around the kitchen, thinking of things to cook, and noticed Lucy writing in the journal. He read the note and smiled.

"Oh I don't know about that, anything's possible." Sam assumed that Lucy and her husband would probably enjoy eating in such a dining room.

She shot him a quick smile back as she picked the journal back up, sniffing lightly in amusement, before leading the way back out. The next place she thought he might find interesting was the DeathMatch. She'd never been herself, as the Lux seemed more to her tastes, but the DeathMatch was the closest thing to a pub the castle itself had.

Lucy pushed open the door and gestured for Sam to go in ahead of her, figuring the place spoke for itself.
