Hello, Jon. [He gives his friend a warm smile, pleased to see him. Sam didn't know what he would do if Jon wasn't here - at least not at first. In time, he would probably get used to things and adapted, but it helped that he had someone close around.

When he pulls back from the hug, Sam gives Jon a clap on the back and takes a moment before answering his question.]

I think it will be overwhelming for a short while, but I want to learn as much as I can. I want to see as much as possible. It's fascinating, all of this.

[Which would include reading and studying. Asking questions and seeking people out who were willing to answer his queries. Of course Sam was going to make comparisons between his home and this world, making notes along the way.]

Well, I don't know about riding any dragons...not right away, at least. I really do want to see them though.
