Feeling much of the nuance of Castiel's look upon entering quickly coming into play, Sam observes the exchange between the two with both eyebrows raised high on his forehead. Jack, who appears young and immediately eager, draws Sam's attention the most. Observing eyes pinging over his features, what he recognizes of Jack is only what he sees of other people in him: a stiff but not unwelcoming stance not unlike Castiel, an enthusiastic but mistimed smile not unlike Dean. If there's something of Sam himself in there he doesn't quite see it (but odds are Sam wouldn't even bother looking at positive traits for his own influence so it might be easily missed).
Even at a distance and knowing only what he's been told, the shifts in the young man's moods are wholly apparent. Either he's sincere or a good actor, Sam thinks to himself, but doesn't forget Kevin Tran who found a way to be both. At least for a while.
Either way, he doesn't want to risk another end like that.
"Here, come sit down," Sam insists, standing only briefly to gesture to the two of them. "I'm from a bit later," he adds. A bare glance is offered at Castiel to clarify, "2015," but his attention quickly returns to Jack as he folds his arms on the tabletop and hunches as tall people are wont to do.
Once more he wishes he could be surprised by all of this, but after running into Jo earlier (not to mention decades in the family business), this all feels like another day on the job.
