He looks up at the mention of his name, still chewing his food, and back down again quickly. Suspicion very briefly strikes him, but withers and dies as quickly as it starts; it isn't hard to imagine for Sam that this young man has learned his name through Gandalf. He takes a brief second to chew and swallow his food before trying to reply; "Aye. Sam Gamgee."

Sam is prepared to leave it at that, but the questions come next. Not an uncommon thing, of course. Being as small as he is seems to have made him something of a novelty in Goldvale, and many people had already come to him with curiosity. "That it is. Meanin' that it's common 'round where I'm from, if you catch me." Hobbits weren't a plentiful populous; they were a condensed and still people, far smaller in size and number then Men. Though he might have answered differently before leaving the Shire, if he had to guess, he would say that there were far more Big Folk in Middle-Earth then there were Hobbits.
