Sam was no stranger to weird. He was familiar with the concept of alternate realities and even multiverse theory but he'd never heard of anything on this sort of scale, let alone experienced anything like it. The 'Researcher' behind this would have to have either some serious technology or some serious mojo to pull off the whole mass kidnapping across realities. He needed to stop thinking about it, the realisation was deeply unsettling and it was giving him a headache.

Dressed in the bright orange attire of his assigned block, Sam left his room and made his way in the direction of Romeo. He didn't think about where he was, how he'd got here or how he was going to get out - his only thought, the only thing he allowed himself to focus on, was finding his brother. He had no doubt that once he did that they'd be able to figure everything else out like they always did.

He was so focussed on his task that he almost barrelled straight into someone heading out as he entered the block. "Wow, sorry. I should've been more careful. You alright?"

For the first time Sam's expression shifted slightly, from mild and friendly to something more scrutinising. It wasn't quite a frown but it was something more serious than the light tone he had displayed up to now. He nodded at her question, his eyes never leaving the book in her hands - especially now he could get a better look at it.

"Yes." He said eventually. "Or at least I know what I think it is. What it looks like to me." He wasn't sure how she'd known, maybe she'd seen the recognition in his eyes when he spotted it, but whatever the reason if she had opened it up to conversation then he wanted to satisfy his curiousity. He was under no illusion that part of the reason he had lingered was to do with that book.

"It looks like a grimoire." He clarified. His gaze flicked from the book to her eyes, searching for a reaction to the next question he posed. "Where did you get it?"

She gave him as little actual reaction in her expression as she could temper; while honest in the fact that she was combing his reaction for something she should be wary of, there was little else to be discerned from her stoic mouth and tired eyes. The fact that he called it by name opened a whole new host of possibilities, some of which she might have to tread carefully around.

She and Hansel were not always looked well upon by other hunters of their time, especially since nearly one hundred percent of them now knew Gretel herself was a witch.

But that was back home...

"Only a few types of people know what a grimoire is-" she started with the slightest tilt of her head, choosing to not answer his question for the time being- not until she got a better read of him. "The witches that write them, and those that hunt them down. I happen to fall into both categories."

She paused just long enough to watch his reaction.

"Which are you."

Sam's brow furrowed. "Wait, so you're a witch that hunts witches?" He said, employing a similar tactic of deflecting the question for now. He didn't see the point in lying to her, and he wouldn't, but for now he preferred to keep his cards close to his chest. "That's a new one on me."

Sam had known good witches, those who hadn't done anyone any harm and those who actively fought for good - he'd never known a witch who was also a Hunter. He supposed such a thing was possible but he'd never seen it himself. From what she said it was difficult to determine if she was a good witch who hunted the bad or a bad witch who hunted the good. So far she hadn't given him any reason to think it was the second option but you never could tell.

Although his confusion was evident, his stance on the information she gave him wasn't exactly clear. He exhaled slowly. "The latter." He said finally, keeping his tone neutral. "My brother and I both are."

She saw the honesty in his eyes, clear as the complicated things she felt somehow familiar, even if they weren't yet named. Still, she couldn't pin down whether his reaction should be considered worrisome.

At least, for right now, he didn't seem like he wanted to kill her.

"Hansel and I have been hunting witches since we were children," she decided to explain, but never took her eyes off his face. "The 'me-being-a-witch' part is a lot... newer. And a long fucking story."

Sam didn't want to kill her. He rarely wanted to kill anyone without just cause. He was fairly certain he'd have no reason to, her clarification that she and her brother were Hunters before she was a witch leant itself more to the theory that she was not evil - and Sam was more than willing to believe it.

Once he'd decided they were probably on the same side his mind suddenly registered what she'd actually said. "....your brothers name is Hansel? Hansel and Gretel?" Her name alone hadn't been enough to make him question it, but hers and her brothers together definitely had him doubting whether he'd heard her right. "Um....is that like nicknames or something, or were your parents really into fairytales?"
