Sam was not surprised by the reply.
He has expected this completely. In fact, this is the most generic reply he could think of. The behavior, the fake smile, the diplomatic attitude, everything is expected of a young master.

One of our youngsters who has been practicing nearby has caught your eye and when you tried to make some conversation, he made some snide remarks. You wanted to punish him, but he retaliated.
