[TR] For Sam C

While Kahlan was still in the general section of astronomy, sometimes she did like to sit in on the advanced class to see what she'd be doing next term and while some of the concepts were too complex to follow, she had faith that eventually it would all come together. She'd always been bright and loved to study, whether that was the magic and lore of Aydindril or these newer, more difficult concepts on the island.

As she was packing up to leave, she saw a flash of blonde hair and recognized Sam, struggling with an armful of infant and books and Kahlan simply had to stop to aid her. She'd liked her a good bit the last time they met and the idea of a woman in the military was intriguing; women in those sorts of roles in the Midlands were not looked upon highly but it seemed it was very different in Sam's world. It was certainly something Kahlan looked to talk about more at length but at the moment, there were other concerns.

"Is there something I could do to help? I could carry the books and you could carry the baby?"

Sam usually takes Janet to classes with her. Janet's small enough that she needs regular feedings and usually just sleeps otherwise, and it's easier for Sam to feed her right before class and let her sleep than to feed her earlier and try to make it through class before Janet gets hungry again. But it's presenting some logistical problems, especially as Janet gets bigger and the amount of books and papers grows. "Oh, thank you," Sam says, grateful for the help. She has a backpack but it's full of spare diapers and blankets and baby things and not much room for else.
