There had been a great deal of... excitement over the past few days. Apparently there was a dragon now, and while he seemed rather erudite and disinclined to start kidnapping maidens and setting villagers aflame, Hood was just glad that everyone else could see him.

Really, it would be so much easier if he were actually mad. Then he might be able to turn off the little voice in his head that kept asking "how?" And the louder lately and more insistent one that demanded to know "why?"He was thinking about the voice he'd heard talking to that man when they'd first arrived. His father? That didn't make sense. And it had sounded so far away, like it was calling across the desert ( ... )

And Sam snapped at the touch, immediately ceasing his weeping and gripping onto the other man's arms, looking up toward his face -- but he couldn't really see it, not through the glare. Not through his hysteria, either. It was only then that he realized the man had been speaking to him. A man. An American. Oh, thank God.

"Harry. Harry, you've got to get me out of here." Even though he'd stopped crying, the evidence of a sob still wavered through his voice. "Jill is.... and Jack's the one who....." But, oh. Jill and Jack. Jack and Jill. "Oh. That's funny." He started to laugh again, but some very, very small part of him realized just how insane that sounded, and he cut himself off, the smile dropping completely from his face to be replaced with pleading. He clutched at the man's arms. "Harry, please. Please help me."

Hood recoiled slightly at the suddenness of the move. The man was looking at him, but not seeing him, lost somewhere in his mind (his memories?).

"I'm not..." Hood started, uncertain, even as he adjusted his grip on the man's biceps and shifted back, preparing to pull him up. "I'm Jacob. I'm going to help you get out of there."

"Yes, yes, yes, just hurry." He allowed the man (who he still believed to be Harry) to get a better grip on his arms, and began to try and push himself out with his legs, for all the good it could possibly do.

The leverage wasn't great, and it took them a long moment of struggling before Sam was able to kick his legs free. He was naked, and obviously disoriented, and Hood couldn't help drawing some conclusions from that. He just came through the gate. Mikney took the gate with him? Mikney is the gate?

"It's all right," Hood said, nearly positive that he was on the right track. "Whatever you're running from, or to, it doesn't exist here."
