Sam has been quiet through the whole meeting. Yes, the petite punk-looking Glass Walker who spent what she thought were her final moments in an act of kindness to a mad, broken, corrupted Spiral Cub, who looked the Alpha of Beloved Horror in the eye and would have snapped at him had a Gaian Garou not swept the pair of them away, who stole another of Beloved Horror's claimed child right out from under his nose.
She is quiet because she has nothing for the moment to offer, and then she's quiet because she knows. Kin do not get in the way of Garou fights, petty or otherwise. In fact, as soon as Erich starts storming across the room toward Phoebe, Sam nudges her brother in the side and rises. They don't want to be here for this.
So maybe Reese is there to catch Lola's eye, or maybe he's already following his sister toward the exit. Sam doesn't know, because Sam knows full well when to get the hell out of Dodge.
She does pause, though, when they're outside the door, to look for Keisha and Winona. She meets the Theurges as they walk out of that room, catches their eyes and offers them a smile and - for Keisha at least, who Sam knows better - a light, brief touch on the arm. No words, though. Sam has had to mediate (and sometimes participate in) fights between her siblings before, but she knows that it's not the same for Garou.
Nothing ever is.
After that she leaves. Whatever happens, the packmates will want to meet with their Alphas, they won't need unaffiliated Kinfolk loitering around and taking up space.
