They will pry it from her cold, dead hands later should they have the
chance. The ring doesn't take precedence over Ruby though. When he had
decided that he wanted to have a relationship with her, there had been a
learning curve to open his mind up more the gray areas. As long as Ruby
fought to be a better person he found he could love her unconditionally.
Likewise, he felt fortunate to have someone who was by his side through the
best and worst of things. How can he believe anything that comes out of
Astaroth's mouth? It's very possible that Sam already needs eyeglasses to
go with his blindness to Eileen's feelings for him. Astaroth's smirk
doesn't convince him anymore than her taunting does.
The fire isn't his best move as he helps spread it quicker. Fortunately,
the adrenaline coursing through his veins helps steer him through any smoke
inhalation he might have already gotten. Her trust in him isn't misplaced
as he moves away from the smoke soon enough. It's only when he reaches her
side that he can exhale with any real ease. Should one of her shackles
still be fastened to her, he will gently but firmly hold her wrist with one
hand to keep it from unnecessary movement and pull the band off with the
other hand. His range is still limited by his own cuffs. When she does
finally drop from her binding, he's there to pick her up with both hands on
one arm and support her upright position by bringing her close to his
chest.
He looks her over briefly, deciding that he might have to break his bonds
to carry her even if it means he might need to dislocate his thumb to free
a hand. He shushes her with concern that fluctuates in his stress lines
between his brow. "Save your energy. Our best bet might be to run unless
you have an idea." They're at a clear disadvantage but he does assess how
he might get the knife back. The two other demons being distracted with the
flames' growth is a good and a bad thing. The energy alone around them
could almost stifle any living creature's mood and he knows Astaroth is a
ticking time bomb. He glances down at Ruby then back to Astaroth. He
decides once again to push his powers out to unbalance her. Whatever
happens next decides it all. Ruby has a lot of sway with their next move.

Fight or run.
