For some reason despite myself obviously being a mortal human I very much relate to throwing a tantrum for two centuries so I'm very tickled.
Please feel free to wind Sam up at anytime. For some reason I've just pictured your guy demanding James feed him while Sam is there and Sam, who is a sweetheart, offering to share his lunch he brought from home. If he's hungry. He's got like a thing of ramen and some bugles? Maybe a rice krispie treat?
I mean yeah there might be a hint of attraction, have you seen your character lately? Lol. He'll happily explain every arc in any comics pre-2005 for hours and not consider it a waste at all.
