Terrible aim

"Hunt down the undead?" I mumbled under my breath as my mouth fell open, blinking. But wasn't that an important matter for the palace and this kingdom? This matter drove the king to entrust this to Sam, and he was telling me he'd like me to take part?

"Why do you look so surprised, my wife?" Sam let out a brief chuckle, amused at the sight of me. "His Majesty wouldn't let me have a moment to breathe, so I had to bring the oxygen with me," he added with a sly smile. "Would that be fine with you?"

"Of course! I would love to!" I didn't take a moment to hesitate to accept his proposal with delight. Without him, I don't see the purpose why I was in here in the first place. I'd rather be in danger than anxiously wait for his return, wondering if he'd return in one piece or just his head.
