As far as Sam is concerned, they won't move until Ruby is more than fifty
percent or if they have no other choice than to run. He isn't proud that
the thought crosses his mind but it helps to a degree that Ruby's powers
aren't a beckon to other demons on top whatever could be felt of his own.
On the contrary, it bothers him that his connection to Ruby, something that
usually has his hairs on end and his mind feel at ease or tingly when she's
in his proximity, is weakened. His hope is that Dean moves faster than
Astaroth. Certainly they've gotten used to Cas being a savior. Without him,
they will have to make do until he shows up.
Sam bites his lip to avoid the frown from marking his face, but there are
the stress lines on his forehead to show how worried he is instead. He can
reason to some extent that Ruby tells him only what she thinks he needs to
hear. "Alright. Let's keep it up and off of it for now. I'll get you that
cold compress." He takes a breath but then locks eyes with her. He knows
the situation isn't easy but he wants to do what's best for her. He takes
another breath in and then out to keep his priorities straight. "And on a
scale from one to ten, how cold are you?" That's important too. Demons
don't get sick in his experience but a weakened one does tend to shiver.
He's noticed Ruby's shivers since he saw her chained up at the start. He
stands up to go get the cold compress once she answers that and returns in
short order. He's grabbed the extra blanket from the closet to throw over
her as well.
His proficiency in magic has skyrocketed over the years and some could say
he's between a level befitting a witch and just a regular human. Blood is
usually what he needs to access magic if that says anything. His abilities
and all of that start and end with blood so it definitely is he makes note
of with her method to release him from his chains. He apologizes
instantaneously when she hisses between her teeth, pulling the cloth away
the moment it's not necessary to dab the alcohol in. He knows it's a sign
that she has her faith in him to do what's best for her by showing any
vulnerability at all. When it's all wrapped to keep it clean, he smiles
just enough to thank her for trusting him but not overdo it.
He's with her not just through the rough patches but for life. One thing he
is certain of is that the chances of getting out of their predicament look
better than they did before. He is certain whatever damage Asaroth did can
be undone. Though on some level, he might realize there is something of a
misunderstanding to address with Eileen. There were clearly more
discussions with Ruby about her concerns about Eileen to have over time to
assure her that he never did nor could see in his future. He tilts her head
back by gently guiding her with his hand at the base of her neck, fingers
long enough to touch the back of her hairs and support her neck. He may be
doing his best to restrain himself from the level of passion usual to his
desire of a certain intoxicating blonde, but half way through he pulls at
the bottom of her lip gently with his teeth before releasing it. He kisses
her a second time with a little more fever. When that breaks, he positions
himself carefully right next to her so that can have that closeness. He
needs to be close to her too. He doesn't have to think about it too long or
too hard to feel in his very core that the best thing for her and himself
is quiet togetherness. He meant what he said earlier by being first on
watch. His arm snuggled her into himself to enjoy her to close her eyes and
rest.
