[ it's a subconscious sort of thing, to watch dean pound back the rest of his drink and to assume that - no matter how much of that bottle is empty - he's clear-headed enough. it probably has something to do with the company sam keeps that he just assumes it doesn't work, or at least doesn't work enough to be worried. that's not on the list of focuses, here, and instead sam just waits. listens. feels his frown grow.
when dean mentions memories, he nods - geralt had something similar happen, same with jaskier, with tony, wanda. he's familiar enough with what people have described, with new things having happened even if they never left.
and sam does continue to listen, and listen and listen. he has to check himself from the strange reaction he can feel himself having at knight of hell and mark of cain, because he and dean have already had this discussion. he knows wherever it is dean's from, biblical becomes a bit literal. extremely literal, if the ugly mark on dean's arm is anything to go by. sam doesn't mention how last he checked, cain killed his brother and (the other) sam's fine last he checked. ]
So you took the mark to use the blade, and it came with a price. [ sam says with a quick look to the weapon in question, then back again. he feels like he may be starting to understand, but there's still something missing. ] And that price is...your life?
