Nothing worthwhile ever is. [That said, Sam slings the double-headed battle axe that does double duty as her guitar from her back, pausing. She's both sizing up the paper dragon, and casting her glance over at Cinnabar and Tycoon.]

Say, Tycoon, you want to catch a ride?

[It's probably safer for her to try to take him closer, than to let him get blown around by the winds, or get too much exposure to Cinnabar's mercury. Sam is positive they'd do their best not to let Tycoon come to harm, but the stuff they control is still dangerous, despite their best efforts.]

This way we can get in close, and Cinnabar can kind of keep their distance. Unless you do want to get up close...not like we've ever worked together before, but there's a first time for everything, right? I just figure if you can get your mercury in without getting within smacking range, you're probably better off.

[That says nothing about her own ability to withstand a potential smack, but Sam is nothing if not tenacious...]
