Hope you know what you're doing, darling. I can be a mighty big handful if you don't play your cards right.

Course, if you do, you and me might have a lot of fun together.

Might as well give it a shot, right?

I see you are still... around.

[Alive might be the wrong word.]

[brotherinarms]

And so are you. Find your way out okay?

[freetobe]

I got out.

[The clear implication: Okay is not the word of choice.]

[brotherinarms]

Dean know?

[ Dean hasn't mentioned it to him, but it's not like they're talking now for Benny to catch up on the news. ]

[freetobe]

Yes. I sought him out as soon as I returned.

[Castiel has meant to check in with the vampire, neither out of distrust nor quite yet out of friendship, but a strong camaraderie that comes natural between fighters on the battlefield regardless of gripes. Something has kept him from pursuing any thoughts in that regard, though, as is the case with things so often lately. Castiel can't quite figure out what makes it so.]

I noticed your absence.

[somewhere_tobe_flying]

Vultan...? What has happened to you?

[Don't mind him. He's new - and so very confused by the unexpectedly familiar face.]

[brotherinarms]

Sorry, who?

[ That's okay. Benny's new too. ]

[somewhere_tobe_flying]

[Beat. Then his face slowly tenses. Embarrassment and regret.]

Forgive me, stranger. You are not who I thought you were.

[brotherinarms]

Not the first time that's happened. Probably won't be the last, either.

Name's Benny.

[somewhere_tobe_flying]

Garus, of the Dactyl.

[gun_or_horse]

A fa... I'm sorry, Person of your stature and fun might be a little scary. [Colt growls at his mun for making him be polite so far there's only been four vamps he's liked and you take out the killing for their blood he's a confused Winchester...]

[brotherinarms]

Only when I have to be. So far, that ain't right now.

[gun_or_horse]

Hey I get it. Guess even you guys need a break now and then. As long as you ain' hurting humans I'll be cool.

[Bull Colt you will anyway he's cool!]

[brotherinarms]

Right. This's a song and dance I've seen before. Word of warning, boy. Find yourself a different monster to tail. I'm turning out to be bad news for your kind.

[gun_or_horse]

Actually the mun says you tent to like my uncle at least. Something about him poppin' ya from the joint kinda thing. Which sounds about right for Dean.

[likedillinger]

Found someone to keep you on the straight and narrow, huh?

[brotherinarms]

Maybe. M'not sure yet.

How've you been?

[likedillinger]

Don't ask.

You?

[brotherinarms]

Can't help it, Dean. That's what we do.

Surviving. Same as usual.

[likedillinger]

I remember when that was all we could ask for. [ which was way easier than the complications all this other shit brings to the table ]

[sampa]

I dunno if anyone wants to know about your brand of fun.

[brotherinarms]

Think it's so much different than yours?

[sampa]

I'm on the other side of the chessboard.

[He knows they're not that different, the single-minded career hunters and the monsters they hunt. Especially vampires- there's always been almost a soft spot for those. Ish.]

[brotherinarms]

I stopped playing chess years ago.

[ He flashes a smile, showing teeth instead of fangs. ]

Retired.

[sampa]

And at what point in this metaphor did you stop drinking human blood for sustenance?

[Straight to the point, Sampa Soup is.]
