Her mouth quirks at one corner at that nearly flippant 'if only'. It's amusing, only because they were all there at some point or another, still were in some ways, even between the adjustments that have happened out of sheer necessity.
She almost says something, but the woman beats her to it. There's a soft hum of temporary confusion before the connection clicks. "Oh," she touches the new mark against her right wrist with the fingers of her opposite hand. "It's a...protection symbol. A..." she still finds herself faltering at how to designate what Dean is to her, to other people. "Someone I know was offering it to people. Keeps demons out, he said, and whether you believe in it or not has no bearing on if it works." It had been a smart move, in her opinion, given the unpredictability of who comes through as a new addition to the Summoned. Especially after Dean had explained how demons from his home operated.
The choice had another layer for her, too, but a stranger doesn't deserve the explanation of that.
