True enough. Mary can't hide how she feels about John most of all. Of course, Dean deserves some credit for tipping the scales too. He's a good son and the first of either of them to push him in the right direction.
Ruby is rightfully nervous, and Sam is too. Of course, his first assumption isn't that this is a trap, it's, well. He couldn't say right away what his first assumption was without all the facts. But if Itinere was as sentient as it sometimes came across to be, he would have to think this the weather was designed to trap them in a classic winter storm / holiday trope. One way or another his gut knew this could turn bad. Should Ruby explain some of her fears, though, he would suggest they look over the wards set up in their room before they went to sleep.
If the awkwardness was their goal, they'd be communicating on a fair scale. As it is, nothing is being communicated and Sam feels a similar itch to scrub his hand at the back of his neck but he pockets them instead. Yeah, it would give the wrong impression if John looked back to Mary. She has faith that even though she encouraged him to go over to Sam without any forethought that he can dig himself out of it. Ethics, morals, and judgements can only hold up so much when it comes to family, right? Sam's not going anywhere while John chooses his next words at least. There's something he even wants to ask, but it gets pushed to wayside. "You want me-- us to come back?" Is that what he should be reading between the lines? He can't help the glance back at Ruby. He won't be thrilled to find things in the room tossed, but it's also nothing he does not expect.
