Re: Rescue vs. Minions/Victims
Oh. Good. It was just Ruby. That was okay, Dean could hit Ruby. Mostly because Sam knew that Ruby wouldn't harm him in return...at least not much. He wouldn't put it past the demon to at least take a swing at his brother to get him to calm down. Of course, as soon as Sam had that thought, Ruby turned to him and asked if she could give him a hit. Sam rolled his eyes and brushed past her, as if that single look alone happened to be enough of an answer. No way. Grabbing Dean by the shoulder, Sam attempted to pull him back so that he could calm him down and, hopefully, talk some sense into him. Talk sense into a crazy man? He'd have better luck at convincing Santa Claus to set a Christmas tree on fire.
Sam tried to suppress a cringe at the Christmas reference, tugging on his brother as he did so. "C'mon, Dean..." He didn't like this. It was bad before, but now his brother was attacking Ruby?
...actually, that was probably the sanest thing that Dean had done all night.
"Ruby's on our side. You know that." Sam tugged at his brother's shoulder again, leaning down a little in hopes of meeting his brothers eyes. He wouldn't attack him, would he? Was he really that far gone? "Dean, we can do whatever you want. Just keep your hands to yourself. We'll help you, okay? You know I'll help you." He was lying. But if this was what he needed to do in order to keep Dean from going all nutso on everyone, then so be it. It wasn't like Dean was gonna hold a grudge later on for it. That was, if he remembered anything. Or if Tara's spell actually worked. God, he hoped that it worked.
