It's very chivalrous of him to want to distract her, Astaroth thinks, but then humans often do the stupid, noble thing. "Oh please. You'd come for her if you'd met her yesterday at a gas station and she'd flipped you off. Stupid, noble Winchesters," Astaroth rolls her eyes.
Astaroth scoffs at Sam's taunting. "I own her soul, whatever is left of that twisted, dark thing anyway. She's mine in a way that you can't even comprehend. You've gotten compliant, Sam. Demons are evil. This is what evil looks like. You're here, she's here because this is fun for me," Astaroth seethes at him. The anger on her face transforms into a grin when he breathes through the pain. The look of confusion is interesting. She expects that Chuck would lie but maybe Sam truly doesn't know. "The deaf one. The one that's head over heels for you." Obviously, she heard Sam say Jo's name, but Jo doesn't really concern her. She doesn't think torturing Jo would hurt Ruby the way watching Sam be tortured hurts her. Astaroth looks over her shoulder to make sure that Ruby is watching, that her expression is broken. Ruby catches her eye.
"Let him go. I'll be yours again. You can do whatever you'd like with me," Ruby tells her. It diverts Astaroth's attention and she walks toward Ruby again. "Been there. Done that. You zone out on me and that's no fun," she says, picking up a lighter as she moves closer to Ruby. She flicks open the lighter, flame igniting as she holds it close to Ruby's leg. Ruby twists and writhes, trying to get away from the heat. "You did say anything," Astaroth tsks at her and Ruby goes still. "Watch me," Astaroth commands her. "Don't slip off to whatever little wonderland you go to. I bet you remember the way it felt when they burned you as a human. Those are the kind of things Hell lets you keep."
