"Since you asked, I do have some other things I should show you. Wait a bit."

Sam put his wig on the wooden head on the table of his side of the room then opened one of his suitcases to get his scrapbook and bring it to Brawny. There were notes and drawings depicting some of Ever After's elusive creatures from Sam's past explorations into the two Forests, along with vials containing samples of dirt tested for their pH values taped to some pages.

"That's why I've been collecting for some time now. I'm hoping to unveil all the mysteries that Ever After has to offer and all this is just the begining. I'm looking foward to add more entries this year, that means more venturing into uncharted territory. Speaking of which, maybe I should show you this."

He rolled out an incomplete map from one of the pages, revealing what seemed to be the Enchanted Forest on one side. When flipped, revealed another map but of the Dark Forest which was also incomplete.

"I currently use these for personal research but once they are done, I'm hoping to share them with the world. I want others to see what I see someday. But you wouldn't mind keeping it a secret for now? Simply because my way of explaining in these entries tend to contradict the magical beliefs we're supposed to learn in school. Grimm would kill me if he saw this."

Sam had always been taught in the scientific method, therefore he would always explain phenomenons by careful analysis and reasoning, never would he say "magic does it all". As an attempt to shine a better light on many subjects, he started his own personal research, which he had always been afraid of getting caught for spreading "blasphemy"

"And because I've been wandering around the forests since forever after, as an expression meaning a long time, of course, I could show you the more rougue tricks I have attained. One should be equipped for these hikes and if it ain't multitools you've got, you'd need a blade."

Sam yet again scrambled through his luggage to pull stuff out, this time a machete was pulled out, wrapped up tight for safety, most definitely. He had assumed that he had bored the Charming boy with all this complicated stuff, might as well show him what he'd like.

"And this is a machete, comes very handy when one is stuck in the forest or a desert island. But other strong blades will do just fine, as long as you can chop with them. I wonder do you fancy combat with one, or a cutlass, or a rapier? I heard Charmings like you are quite skillful with the sword, it'd be an honor to be duelling with you, though I may play in a more swashbuckling way. A sailor, aren't I?"
