She's exhausted all factual sources to find a solution to her problem, so now she down to trying to interpret legends and myths in a desperate attempt to find clues. I guess that's why she empathises with Ruby, she could help her and Adam.

I think the reason that Blake was so nice to Ruby in that scene was because Ruby reminded Blake of herself as a child, and Blake misses that kind of innocence. And perhaps you're right, maybe Ruby's "innocent soul" could be what's needed to save Adam from losing himself.
