Single-minded was right, and while Sam would be the first to say that the circumstances he was raised in were far from normal he has continuously tried to do the right thing with the cards he's been dealt. Something he's trying to do, even now, with the cards stacked against him.
Spencer cares, that much Sam can see from where he's sitting in the backseat of his car. Tara's barely holding on, and Sam's making casual conversation - asking the kinds of questions that are easy to answer, the kind of questions a person asks as a first responder to test the level of cognition in someone else.
Sam doesn't mind getting stitches, but filling out that paperwork would leave Spencer with more questions and fewer answers. Charlie set up his health insurance fraudulently, and it's not like any of what he had was legitimate. She was an exceptional hacker, but that was without the resources of the FBI.
"Yeah, kind of hard to do it myself without a mirror."
It's a bad joke from Sam, rooted in reality, and when Tara groans he turns his attention back to her muttering softly in the backseat and offering up some bottled water.
"I think so. It's still wet, but it's not soaking through anymore." Spencer's concern for him is something genuinely surprising to Sam. It's not often that any of the people he runs into on hunts ask about him or his injuries, being seen as some marble-statued warrior went with the territory.
