New scars would never change how he looked at her. Of course he cares enough to want to avoid them where possible. They've talked about what the scars they currently have mean to them and her scar beneath her sternum represents how they found a way to work together with time. Sam was probably the only one that saw it this way but the fact Ruby approached Bobby all those years ago and gave him the colt proved to him how she wanted to play ball.

She's worthy of every single one. Chances are when they get out of this dilemma, he will deliver on the bubble bath and a moment to read to her. He could never pressure her to do anything that makes her feel sick unless it's for her well-being. Truth is, he is still a little on edge about the manner to which she lacks clothing in the first place. He knows they should talk about it but he has no idea how to start. For the moment, it isn't the ideal time to ask her.

Sam is rightfully angry at Astaroth touching Ruby in the first place, but that anger translates to the patience he needs to have that conversation with Ruby later. He's always been sincere about his feelings about Ruby too. Family is important. It's been on his list for some time to help Ruby find out what happened to her family to heal her human side. He loves her a great deal.

There's a certain amount of relief Sam feels to see Dean, but he doesn't let his guard down yet. There isn't much to gather thankfully, just a bag from Ruby's car that had her clothes mixed with some borrowed from his closet and the medical-magic kit. He handles the heavier stuff in his better hand or over his shoulder. He makes a suggestion about using some of the back roads when he catches the stress in Dean's eyes. He can't change that he made the mistake that Ruby's absence was a big 'what if' or that he probably should have communicated better with Dean after the fact.

Sam returns to Ruby's side once he's gathered the important things. He lets the two of them finish before he interjects. "We don't have time for this." Looking down to Ruby, he adds. "We'll still come back for your car. I'm just not sure when."

They have everything they need so he acknowledges Dean with a silent 'got it', helping Ruby towards the Impala. The front was usually where the three of them sat but he opened the back door. With Ruby's injuries especially, they needed the extra space. Once Ruby was in, he shut the door carefully behind her. He rounded the Impala to pack himself on the other side, scooting closer to Ruby and dropping their bags off to the side. Without saying a word, he quietly encouraged her to lean against him.

Dean wouldn't likely find much left in Ruby's vehicle but a few magical things and a photo of Ruby and Sam together that could assist with a tracking spell.
