She won't, but her skin might look nasty for a while if not patched up
correctly. Leave it to Sam to be concerned about how she may view the
injuries later. He knows from experience that no one should have heavy
reminders on them. To this day, he's not a fan of the scar on his back that
reminds him how he was stabbed in the back. He doesn't want Ruby to have a
similar reminder.
"Not to mention beautiful. Brave. A real survivor." He tries to keep it
light by adding more to the list. That's exactly what they'll do then when
they return to the bunker and she is well enough to stand on her own.
There's even a book on her nightstand calling her name that he can read to
her in lieu of any strenuous activity when they take the time to recover
first. He won't leave her side for anything other than the odd break. It's
too late to take his clothes off as he's crawled in next to her already. It
goes without saying that his clothes might add to the warmth radiated from
his body on to hers.
Surely Eileen has gotten the message. Sam believes in the better side of
people anyhow. (None of them can possibly know how entangled Eileen is as a
spy for Chuck at the present time.) Sam has that acute awareness that the
videos and pictures Ruby keeps of him will one day all be memories for her
to hold on to (honestly, he does the same thing by the photos he hangs the
bunker and their room), but those moments of togetherness are still their
present. That's all that matters. He's let her know that adoption isn't a
make or break deal. It might have been had he never got back into the life.
Though if he were being honest, it helps to a certain extent that he
considers Jack as his own son. He also told her if she was open to it, she
would be more amazing as a mother than she believes. Travel has always been
the other thing on his list that's remained unchanging over the years. As a
surprise to Ruby, he'd like to track down any existing relatives of Ruby
one day in Poland or wherever the trails lead. In his eyes, she's
exceptional. He strokes her head softly to help her body drift where it
feels safe.
Sam reached out to her when she startled awake to let her know there was
nothing to worry about. He kept eye contact with her until the terror
subsided. After passing the gym pants over, he took her hand to give her a
light squeeze before letting her pull them on. He looked back just before
he opened the door. This was as presentable as they had the ability to be.
Sam had been prepared to redo the salt line when the door brushed over it
but in a brief recognition of surprise, he saw that it didn't break or thin
out. Of course he hadn't mentioned how bad it was. The only thing Sam
didn't lie about was that he needed to get Ruby out of there as quickly as
possible. He also didn't lie about how unhinged Astaroth would be by how
she acted. There was no doubt in his mind that the crazy bitch would come
after them. He doesn't offer Dean any hint of relief at no sign of people
in the parking lot. On the contrary, he paces around the room to gather
what little they need to leave. "I can't relax just yet. You might not have
been followed, but there were no signs of anyone in the parking lot when we
arrived too. We don't see that at motels ever." That's as close to
Sam saying yes, we're leaving now as Dean's going to get. He kneels
at the bedside to assist Ruby within a few steps once he has the medical
kit. "You good with that? Astaroth might waste a few minutes if she sees
your car is still here."
He helps Ruby up on her terms. Unlike last night, his one arm is too numb
to carry her so for both their sakes he hopes she's rested enough to stand.
Still, he does what he can to support her cautiously with his good arm
around her waist.
