[ Maybe it was just their bad luck. Maybe it was just that "God" had dated a girl called Amy one time, and decided that all the heroes of his story had to date one, or two, or three of their own. Sam didn't know. He didn't think too hard about it. None the less, it was a shepherd dog that he had shared with a girl called Amelia who stumbled upon Amy before he did.
Perhaps Riot was drawn in by the fact that she was sitting away from the fire, alone. Maybe it was something about her scent, but the dog got to her before Sam did, and when he stumbled in to apologize for him a moment later, he just about tripped over his tongue in the process.
How? Why? She couldn't be Amy, right? Maybe some long lost relative--after all Sam was still pretty sure he was stuck in the past. Maybe he shouldn't rush to the name stage and freak her out, just in case. ]
Uh.
[ Of course he could just be completely incapable of finding any words, instead. That worked. ]
