( Sam knows he should probably keep this to himself, in case of timeline-warping consequences, but the need to soothe Jack is stronger, so he reassures him instantly. ) Yeah. It's - I probably shouldn't go into details, but we're okay. You saved us. Everyone's okay.
( Not everyone, but Jack doesn't need to know that. ) It's probably a good thing you didn't try to open a portal, then. If we got swept up at different points in time, who knows when a portal back would lead us? We'll just find a way back to our points in time a different way.
( Sam projects a confidence he doesn't completely feel, especially since he hasn't found Dean, but he keeps his worries firmly to himself. Instead, he tilts his head down the street, indicating that they should walk. ) Do you know where else we can get some free food? Other than... that. ( The shopkeeper gives Sam a glare as he looks back at the free eggs - they'd probably overheard his disgust, oops - so Sam turns in the opposite direction. )
