It's been a long time since he'd last really 'powered up,' as Ruby teases him by calling it. Sam can feel the effects twisting through him. Everything seems brighter, sharper, clearer; he feels clearer, stronger, ready for anything.

He can't sit still, and he sure as hell can't go back to the motel room until it wears off a little - Dean'll notice something's wrong in a hot second, and Sam doesn't want to lie to him unless he has to.

He pushes through the door to Milliways instead. Maybe he can walk it off there, at least a little bit.

[OOC note: Sam is currently riding a paranormal high due to the effects of ingesting demon blood. If your character would be able to detect that sort of taint, feel free to have them do so! Just don't expect him necesssarily to admit it.]

Coyote raises her eyebrows. Sam should really, really know better.

"Sam!" She sounds aghast. "Are you keeping secrets?"

[gavemea_45]

"No, you are," he counters. "This one."

[howling_laugh]

It's so funny that people think she has nothing better to do than blab their little secrets to someone else. Why would she even bother to? Who would care about...

Oh.

He doesn't want her to tell Dean.

"That is very masterful of you, Sam. But I don't owe you any more favors, remember?"

She bets he probably does.

[gavemea_45]

"I know."

There's no way this is gonna end anywhere good, but he can't --

Dean can't --

"This time I'd owe you one, instead."

[howling_laugh]

Coyote leans in toward Sam. "Tell me more."

Oh, that's a dangerous smile.

[gavemea_45]

He shakes his head.

"Promise me, first."

[howling_laugh]

"Sam, that isn't fair. What if you bought me a beer and then declared us even?"

It would be totally even, because it costs her nothing to keep his secret.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

[gavemea_45]

"Oh, I'm sure we can work something out."

His tone is dry as sand.

"Come on, Coyote."

[howling_laugh]

"You are such a spoilsport." She was totally more generous with her favor, Sam!

"Fine. I promise."

[gavemea_45]

"Sorry."

He doesn't sound it. Sam eyes her, a little suspiciously.

"You promise what?"

[howling_laugh]

Rats.

"I promise not to tell anyone else how you have been drinking blood." Coyote rolls her eyes.

Is Sam a vampire now? IS HE?

[gavemea_45]

"Okay."

Hopefully she's not lying.

Now he just has to figure out how to get out of this without making a deal that sucks too badly.

"Thanks."

[howling_laugh]

"Oh, you are welcome."

She flashes him another grin, a dazzling display of dentition.

"Catch you later, Sam."
