Since he has his game up, Sam hears the guy coming and just as Steve's speaking, Sam says, over his shoulder, "Don't say it, don't...", but Steve is already gone.

"Come on!" Sam exclaims and drops any hint of caution to take off after Steve's retreating back. He manages to hold onto Steve for a few yards but the gap grows all too quickly and Sam is left behind. Gasping, he gives up and lands at the base of a tree to try and find his breath and dignity.
