Sam restrained himself from pointing out to Yorick that Natalya had been snipering their men and clearly knew what was going on so, yeah, she did do something, but words would only get them in trouble. Like words showing they cared about Natalya would only end up in her getting tortured more, to make them suffer too. So he saved the comment and just gave Yorick a look he probably missed asking why he was being stupid.
It wasn't like it was easy to watch Natalya getting tortured. The very opposite of easy, it made him want to reach out and grab someone and strangle someone until they changed their minds. Even though he knew that this was Natalya's life and some trick of the island's, Sam felt guilty watching Natalya suffer. Maybe he should have been fighting more, like Yorick only more effectively. Maybe he should have said something, given her some sign to keep her strong. Maybe a hundred different things, but none of them could he do. Sam just had to stand and watch, not turn away though it hurt him to see yet another person he cared about go through outrageous suffering.

Stay strong and plot their demise for later.
