( with the length of time it takes sam to respond, rowena considers that he might have fallen asleep again. she's calmer herself now, worries shifted from the brief conversation, and after waiting a few minutes puts her own phone down, her head back on her pillow to try and sleep some more.
which is exactly when he texts her again, just as her eyes had closed.
the words make her smile, knowing that samuel is feeling out the offer rather than accepting anything. really, she doesn't fully know what she'll do with him, but she has a few suggestions )
Meditation, astral projection. If you're okay with it, looking into your mind, to see if I can find something about your powers, and help you there.
There are also spells that can be used to draw out a vision, but that is a step further down the line. If you wanted to know and control your powers you'd need the right mind first: a clearer, focused one.
( Sam nods at this screen in the dark; none of what Rowena is suggesting seems too far-fetched or morally dubious. )
We knew a Dreamwalker who could travel the astral plane, as well as others. I'm not sure that's even something I can do, but it's worth a shot.
( He could have talked to Kaia about this, or Patience, but at the time, his abilities seemed to be permanently dead, and he had no wish to raise those spirits. Now, though, he wishes he could have had a proper conversation with Missouri, at the very least. He could have learned so much more about psychics who didn't have demon blood in them, who presumably got their powers naturally, but Sam had always flinched away at the comparison and buried his head in the next case. )
We can try meditation, sure. ( He doesn't say anything to Rowena's offer to look into his mind. He would prefer it no one ever entered his mind again, frankly, and he's almost sure she won't like what she would find, so he lets that suggestion go unaddressed. ) You're right. Even if I don't have another premonition, it would be good to explore this a bit.

Goodnight, Samuel.
