[Sam honestly hadn't been going anywhere much, himself. He sticks to the farmhouse and he takes short walks around to clear his head. That's really about it, and he prefers it that way. Easier to keep level-headed, and keeps the anxiety about what's inside him at bay a little more successfully.
If Dean needed any immediate confirmation that it's Sam and not the devil, the tall man seems to shrink, surprise painting his expression before his bangs slide down with his somewhat downcast expression. He clears his throat and manages a small smile that absolutely doesn't meet his eyes; not a lot of them do, sorry.
He hadn't meant to run into anyone out here. He's not having a great day mentally, sleep having been a bit of a useless venture the night before. So he's not — safe enough. Or something. Sam's not very kind to himself about these sorts of things. He seems worried to encroach on Dean's territory, so he hovers where he's stopped.]
Hey, Dean.
... Um.
Out for a walk? It's a nice place to clear your head.
[Last time he'd been with him physically, he'd clung to him for dear life and begged him not to follow him. He'd thought it would be the last time he'd see this one — this younger Dean that still had a chance to be spared from his bullshit.

But here they are, all the same.]
