@LostButNotLostS away. *I pause for a moment, watching Sam's face and something occurs to me,* What if... I mean... Maybe you could help me... Get me information on Michael. Maybe where he's holed up? How many others we'd have to watch out for? It would give me more leverage...
*Standing at the corner, just out of Sam's line of sight, I can't move. Since this all started I wanted to explain myself to him... Castiel understood but I knew it wasn't in a way that could easily be explained, at least not to Sam. My head lowers and my eyes scan the cracked >
*Sitting outside, at one of the restaurant's tables, Sam's head shot up, as he looks around, the male swore he had heard something... Shrugging his shoulders, the tall Winchester sighed, returning his attention to the laptop before him.*
@LostButNotLostS threat anymore. At the very least not to you! And for now I'm keeping Nick away from the human populace in general, so he can't hurt anyone else. *A slight grin crosses my lips,* I think he's connected the dots between you and I, and that's all the more reason to keep him >
@LostButNotLostS you. I have only one single card to play... *Well, honestly the card isn't in my hand yet, and I'm still trying to work out the how, but damn it, I'll get it!* And I'm going to use it or die trying!
@LostButNotLostS speak and try to make Sam understand what... ~who~ I'm still fighting for.*
I.. it's still you Sam. I'm still fighting for this, for us. And from what I've come to understand is every one is about to put everything on the line, and I still refuse to let you go. I still love >
@LostButNotLostS@CorruptedDivine breath, I straighten slightly and look up slowly at Sam to meet his gaze.* I know you think I've made a poor choice here, Sam, but, I won't let him kill anyone else and I can't... I have to keep him away from you and your brother. I know what I'm doing... *My voice softens and >
@LostButNotLostS@CorruptedDivine < should be an obvious place, if I hadn't made sure to block us both from being found by all angels. The thought has me reaching my free hand to unconsciously play with the small crystal around my neck.* May I sit with you a while?
@LostButNotLostS I.. I'm sorry things are such a mess, Sam. *I rest my hand on the back of the empty chair, intending to sit, but waiting to see if he'd dismiss me. I didn't think he would but, I wasn't trying to push my luck here. The Book was safe, hidden along with @CorruptedDivine in what >
@LostButNotLostS < and my voice is soft, almost questioning when I speak.* I'm here... I I'm.. okay. How are you? *I'm not truly okay, in this moment I'm afraid I'm only seeing what I want to and maybe this is a bad idea. But Sam's always pulled me to him like a magnet I'm not able to resist.*
@LostButNotLostS *Sam's bewilderment is clear on his face and it makes me pause. Not because I wasn't expecting it, but because I knew why I caused it. I made a promise, and although I knew I was keeping it, Sam didn't. It was a wonder that the first reaction wasn't betrayal. I catch the slip >
@CorruptedDivine going anywhere and he was reluctant to summon Ruby the first time, I doubt he'll do it again in the few minutes I'll be in the other building.
I reach for my pocket...and the phone that's no longer there.* Shit. You have a phone, or do we need to take a side trip to Fiji?
@CorruptedDivine have to find. It occurs to me that, that's all I need the laptop, and the Book for... for now. Maybe taking it back to Cas would be smart, knowing how interested Ruby was in it. That's a detail I'll worry about before leaving for Purgatory I suppose. At the moment, Nick isn't >
