[ visual ] someday they'll make a martyr out of me ☣ 003
Training Sam Winchester has been kind of a bitch. Ruby hasn't been able to get any viable reaction out of him since she ambushed him and pushed him to the edge of death which was kind of pathetic when she thought too hard about it. The cuts and bruises had stopped healing slowly on their own, leaving nasty looking discolorations on her skin and the last straw had been a gash left on her cheek where Sam had got in a lucky punch.
Then Rose had been kind and stupid enough to pay Ruby for her services in allowing Rose to observe her movement through Taxon, which on its own did a number on her. She'd started to look worn out, not quite dead girl walking but a few steps away nonetheless. It was time to put that payment to use, and work a little energy drink to boost Ruby back to normal again.
The video cuts in on a candle-lit room (oh this is not Ruby's residence - she might be a bitch but she is not an idiot) and Ruby kneeling in the middle of a large occult symbol on the floor, just ending some sort of chant. She leans forward and picks up the small bowl filled with dark liquid (the keen-eyed or experienced MIGHT be able to recognize it as blood), pulling it in toward her but not drinking.
It ignites, looking no more special for its standard color but Ruby breaths in and sighs. It hurts worse than it did when she received the wounds, but she refuses beyond clenching her teeth and grunting to allow the pain through. Ruby curses under her breath, faltering a little but very determined not to fall out of the boundaries of the circle, or drop the bowl.
Hopefully anyone watching will be kind enough to leave her be. Because that's totally what Ruby would do, right?
