Sam looked at Jasper for a moment, trying to get past his clumsy stuttering. "Come to the next concert? I... I don't know about that, Jasper... I mean, I'd like to... It's just..." she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should say what she thought of Kuro to him. "I don't want to be any trouble to Kuro... He seemed a bit, mean today. I feel like I pissed him off or something..." She stared at the ground, breaking eye contact from Jasper. "But if you want me to, then I'll go..." she lifted her head to look at him, giving him a small smile, even though it faded away rather quickly. Komodo looked at Sam for a moment, nudging her hand with his nose, making little snort noises. Those snort noises always seemed to make her smile a little, considering it was cute and he did that anytime she was sad.<br/><br/>Soon enough, Sam's dad had come out of the Training building and saw the two. He came up to them and said, "Hey, Sam..." he smiled. "Who's this, your boyfriend?" Sam stared at her father and shook her head instantly. "No, no! Jasper's just a friend from school, honestly" she said. "Why do you have to say that about every guy you see me with!" Her father shrugged. "Just protecting my princess is all" he smiled and patted Sam on the head before walking off. Sam stood there, her arms crossed and looking steamed a bit. Her father was always like that to her, embarrassing her in front of her friends. He said that same exact thing when she had been hanging out with Lee too. Then again, she was the only daughter of the family, so it seemed reasonable.
