Sam shook his head. "Salt line's good enough. We need at least one space looking kinda normal."
Which was half true; what if there was someone who didn't know about any of this stuff that wanted to talk to them or they needed some kinda information out of? You could hand wave that stuff, make excuses, sure, but it was a little easier to get someone to trust you enough to spill what they knew when you weren't hedging around why there was a freaking protective circle graffiti'd on your ceiling.
And then there was Ruby. Main reason why he was hoping to avoid the whole thing, obviously, but that. That, he was not telling Dean about.
"Your room's all properly decorated, right?" he went on, an air of I'm just being practical underlying the words. "We can just use yours."
Besides, he wanted to swing by Ruby's along the way, and it'd be simpler to do that if he wasn't waiting for Dean to come by. He would've liked to have her there, even, along with Dean, but the inevitable uneasiness he would feel having the two of them around each other wasn't close to being worth it. But he remembered bouncing ideas off of Ruby, too, over breakfast or in the car or late at night in bed when he couldn't sleep and Ruby didn't need to sleep, and while it hadn't been the same, it was...
Anyway.
Speaking of Ruby.
"I haven't spoken to her in a couple of days or so. I could catch up with her later today, though, see what she knows."
