When Ruby sent him the message verifying that she was ready, Sam glanced across the room at the various symbols that he had drawn out onto the kitchen floor. Better there than the carpeting, as the chalk would wipe away easily from the tiles when he was finished. He didn't quite know the spell by heart yet (it wasn't as though Sam often summoned demons), so he had a book propped up beside the drawings on the floor for reference. Stating the words of Latin out smoothly and clearly, Sam followed the book letter for letter until he was ready for the next step. Kneeling down, he plucked up a match and lit it, dropping it into the center of the symbols where the other various ingredients needed for the ritual were stored. A fire flared up and Sam immediately leaned back, cringing at the memory of the burnt curtains from the night before. When the flames settled, he finished the summoning with a few final words, some of which included Ruby's name, before he leaned back along his spot on the floor and waited.

She'd be along any second now.

Eyes staring down at the markings, he looked across the kitchen area in search for Ruby. He didn't know where she'd show up. In the bathroom, under the single bed he'd gotten for the two of them, on top of the TV. The summoning thing was so uncomfortable for him. Not because he was literally yanking Ruby to him from hundreds of miles away (though it was with good reason that he did worry sometimes, which was why he always felt asking first was more polite), but because Ruby had the opportunity to get the jump on him. He trusted her, that wasn't even a question. But Sam was still getting used to the date a demon thing. Being able to summon the one that he loved whenever he wanted was convenient and useful, but also unusual.
