His first time in Calormen he notices the dust, hanging heavy in the air; he notices the harshness of the sun, nothing like Narnia's own gentle rays, but somehow beautiful in its wildness; he notices Prince Rabadash's strange, sinuous beauty and tries not to do so--the Prince is not for him, and his siblings clearly find him distasteful, and anyway Sam can't quite decide if he finds him fascinating or frightening.
They're in Calormen for a few more days, and Sam starts noticing the way people eye Edlyn, like they've never met a girl so bold and unashamed; the looks they give her set his teeth on edge.
The next time Ed says something biting, and the Calormen noblemen trade glances between themselves that reek of disapproval and affront, Sam makes sure he catches every one of their gazes at some point and directs all the considerable silent menace he possesses in their direction; the Gentle he may be, but that does not mean he isn't dangerous, and his sister is ten thousand times better than these ignorant men.
(Lol. I think I just slashed boy!Susan with Rabadash. XD That feels strange, and yet fun as well.)
