third smiting ⇝ written/action

[dirtytrenchcoat]

[Don't mind Cas, he's just wetting his pallet at the Lux. He's had a hard week. He hates walking everywhere and is finally disenchanted by the castle. Feel free to bug him.]

I find Valentine's Day to be frivolous.

Comments

[demontobeloved]

Yeah. That's what I've heard.

[He can't remember the last time he was in the castle, after all.]

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[And then he offers his hand.]

Cole Turner.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

[Cas takes his hand and gives it a firm grip.] Castiel.

[demontobeloved]

Castiel, huh? Name sounds familiar.

Were your parents religious?

[Cole's grip is just as strong.]

[dirtytrenchcoat]

[When Castiel pulls his hand back he doesn't hesitate to have another drink.] Yes, [He answers plainly.] My father is the redeemer.

[demontobeloved]

The redeemer?

[It takes a few cogs to click before he blinks.]

Ah. Angel, right? [A pause.]

...Why do I always find the ones who'd vanquish me in an instant?

[That's muttered.]

[dirtytrenchcoat]

[His ears keen as ever pick up on that immediately.] I will not smite you. [He had no reason to.]

[demontobeloved]

Yeah, well, I wouldn't be so quick to say that.

You don't even know what I am yet.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

I didn't ask. [He states firmly. The last thing he needs is another reason to be uncomfortable here.]

[demontobeloved]

...

[Cole just takes another gulp of his drink.]

Gotcha.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

I should go. [Pushing off of the bar with his finger tips, he whirls around toward the door with inhuman poise.] Enjoy your drink.

[demontobeloved]

Hey. [He calls after the guy.]

Try not to let the castle get to you, huh? It might be a psycho clusterfuck, but it's just another challenge.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

[Smiling a little despite his feelings on his environment Castiel turns his shoulder just slightly to respond.] Thank you. I failed to see it in that perspective.

[demontobeloved]

Any time.

And if you wanna talk about anything, remember the name's Cole Turner.

[Hey, there's some good things about being a decent person.]

[dirtytrenchcoat]

Castiel. [He returns introducing himself in response.] And I will keep that in mind.
