Sam's tired slump has become an all-encompassing thing that weighs heavy on not just his tone but also his eyelids and the frown that creases his features. There was a time when Sam could be surprised, shocked even, at the new reality of monsters and mayhem he'd been forced to participate in, but that youthful outlook died when he started drinking demon blood and his brother did a tour in hell.
Sam's careful and gentle despite all he's gone through. He has a nurturing streak that life hasn't managed to kick out of him yet and a dedication to knowledge and the task at hand that sees him through these kinds of situations.
Sam can see some of the same in Spencer, but being vague and non-commital about the truth never did him any favors. Since Jess, and since the shit with Azazel, he knows the value of honesty even if that honesty is a bitter pill to swallow.
"Even if they are," Sam didn't want to stick around the town any longer than he had to. He was just fine with sporting another nasty scar. He had more than his fair share. The humor does earn Spencer a smile though, barely there save for the curved corners of his mouth awash in the fluorescent bathroom lighting. "Tell you what. I'll do my best not to ruin your handiwork if you promise me not to get into any trouble with this kind of stuff." Academics never could just leave something alone, that much he knew first hand, and he didn't want Spencer to follow the same path as Henricksen or Jody for that matter. Unable to look away, too committed to not become something of a part-time, their life a casualty to it the same as him.
