When he spoke carefully, as now, he all but lost the slight Scots accent that usually marked his speech."I do not wish to… that is… I do not mean to imply…" He looked up suddenly and smiled, with a helpless gesture. "I dinna want to insult you by sounding as though I think you've a vast experience of men, is all. But it would be foolish to pretend that ye don't know more than I do about such matters. What I meant to ask is,

is this… usual? What it is between us, when I touch you, when you … lie with me? Is it always so between a man and a woman?"

In spite of his difficulties, I knew exactly what he meant. His gaze was direct, holding my eyes as he waited my answer. I wanted to look away, but couldn't."There's often something like it," I said, and had to stop and clear my throat.

"But no. No, it isn't—. I have no idea why, but no. This is… different."

Hello @garvita2002! Thanks for the ask! I apologize if this is really late, Tumblr didn’t let me know you sent anything -_-

I think the earliest mention of Sam talking about the Very Special Mountain Top Birthday™ is in 2015 for Travel + Leisure Magazine.

He also mentioned it in his foreword of Cameron McNeish’s book There’s Always The Hills, calling it “momentous” and “remarkable”

He’s talked it about it several times over the years. He’s answered tweets about it calling it one of his favorite / most memorable days shooting Outlander. And he even posted a BTS video of this photo from that day that sits in the halls out their studio.

Recently he and Caitriona both have brought that day up during Outlander promo dubbing it “The Picnic” and saying it was one of their Top 5 Moments

As much as they both like to complain about the weather they had to endure... I think they both remember that day fondly 🥰
