Concern, first. They don’t really know what to expect from such a pale person, considering no wood sprite is quite as light-skinned as little Sam. When he turns pink/red, they might worry he’s sick until he explains it to them, and even then they’ll fret. The sun is supposed to give life, not burn them! That said, they could get burned themselves if they’re not careful, it’s just not as easy for them. So they’d know some herbal remedies to soothe him if necessary.

What would Bowman think of sunburns? Jacob getting a sunburn or just even telling him that such a thing exists? I bet he never would have thought that the sunlight could ever harm anyone, he’d be in shock. Lol:3
Ha! Bowman would be a bit skeptical, though he can’t outright deny it. It’s not like humans thrive off the sunlight the same way he does! Sure, it brings life and warmth to everything, but it can also dry out a plant if it beats down on it too much.
If Jacob actually got a sunburn and Bowman found out about it, he’d never let him live it down. You can walk to the shade, Jacob. This is a choice you made. Why.
Even more inconvenient scenario: Sam also gets sunburn, so the pocket stings like a bitch when it rubs against his arms.
Sam starts jabbing Dean in the chest and they both end up using an entire container of aloe vera the next day and Dean bitches about how it hurts to go back in the sun.
Sam nicknames him a vampire until the end of their sunburn trial.
Jacob camps a lot, and is for the most part a more outdoorsy type than Dean is, so he’s more likely to tan (in addition to being Mediterranean, which helps his chances in the sun). Dean spends most of his days holed up in a room researching, with a good amount of his waking hours at night hunting spirits. He will burn quick before he tans if he’s not expecting it.
Sam will never let Dean hear the end of it, but he better keep out of the sun himself. All those years in the motel left him even paler than Dean, so he’ll burn faster.
Bowman would be very critical of all of this. People burning just from spending time in the life-giving sun?! It’s such a weird idea. Even knowing that sprites can get themselves dried out and overheated, he will be baffled. Of course, the shedding will have him wondering if they’re sick and need some kind of medicine. Dean would get such a Look for all of this.
