Pebble's reassurance there ("Relax, you're fine") is a callback to what Sam said to them the first time they talked back in Mostly Harmless. The situation now has been flipped, Pebble is a lot more comfortable around Sam right now than Sam is next to her >w<
Also it's time for Sam Has Angst!
This comic was meant to be a supporter doodle! SleepingKitsune asked for a scene of Sam and a bunny typically interacting, but it got a bit longer and turned into an interesting opportunity for me to explore a part of Sam's personality that I haven't gotten to show very often.
Want to see art early? I have a Subscribestar at https://subscribestar.adult/foxyoreos where you can get weekly access to early art or request monthly doodles! <3
