I fail to see why you believe this is a desireable 'canon point' to 'update' me to.

I didn't find that experience enjoyable.

[integrity]

Should I have taken you to dinner prior to fisting?

[ofthursday]

Yes.

[OR AT LEAST COFFEE.]

[integrity]

You're the one that was predictable enough to shove the tablet inside you.

[I mean, come on, who didn't see that coming?]

I didn't know you liked that sort of thing.

[ofthursday]

No one else thought of it.

[He thought it was clever. Crowley knows him too well, he supposes.]

I'm not. It simply seemed the best option.

[integrity]

You're an idiot.

[Informatively.]

[ofthursday]

I am not. Everything about my plan was clever.

[He was impressed with himself about the superpositioning thing.]

[integrity]

Except for the part where it failed miserably.

[ofthursday]

It worked on Naomi.

[Which had been the point, after all.]

[integrity]

Naomi is something of a... well.

[Crowley waves a few fingers.]

Let's just say that you aren't the first angel I've swapped secrets with, hm? She's a bit... special. Tries to fit the square into the triangle hole and manages to make it fit at least 75% of the time, but unfortunately for her, she's run out of lucky chances.

[Castiel really has no desire to hear about any of this, for so many reasons. Though...]

It seems fitting you and she would know each other.

Biblically.

[integrity]

[There's a soft huff of laughter.]

Biblically.

[Crowley shakes his head slightly, sliding his hands into his pockets.]

You have no idea, darling.

[ofthursday]

I have no desire to.

[integrity]

Ask her about Mesopotamia.

It was a delight.

[ofthursday]

I don't want to know, Crowley.

[He really doesn't want to talk to Crowley in general, after all that. It was just rude.]

What to you even intend to do with the angel tablet? You can't read it.

[integrity]

It's a bargaining chip, darling.

[Crowley shrugs a little.]

Naomi wants it, so, naturally, I need it.

[ofthursday]

Of course.

[He's just irate at the entire thing. He's sure he could've held off Naomi, but then Crowley had to interrupt.]

And what are you intending to bargain for?

[integrity]

I wanted it because I wanted it. Do I need a specific reason?

[He has reasons. Scores of them. But he's not sharing them with Castiel.]

[ofthursday]

I would hope that you do, for the lengths you went to.

[Like shooting him.]

[integrity]

You'll get over it.

[Boredly.]

Besides, better me than her.

[ofthursday]

I suppose.

[He would indeed rather Crowley than Naomi. But he's still not pleased.]

You know your victory is short lived.
