cape_kore | [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

[The feed springs to life. The fact that it's a video at all means Mina clearly didn't intend to broadcast it, but that also becomes evident since the feed seems to be erratic and shaking. Mina herself cannot be seen. She's on the move, rushing from room to room in House 18, ripping open doors, curtains, drawers, pretty much anything that moves.]

Anna! Anna! I've had it Anna! You show your face right now, you stupid harpy, or I swear to all the gods I'll snap your little neck!

[She's clearly been at this awhile.]

It's not funny! It's...not...funny...

[The wobbly camera movements reveal a kitchen. All of the supplies from Mina's medical kit are strewn across the table and she starts to knock them to the floor. Bottles, papers, and books go flying and crashing. Soon, it gets to the point where Mina is just throwing things in frustration. It goes on and on and on until, at last, she lets out a sob. The world rises around the camera as Mina sinks to the floor. Finally, everything is still, her arm resting beside her, the camera recording a cracked piece of the wall.

Mina sobs softly for a bit, before letting loose a truly primal scream.]

DAMN IT.

[And the feed will continue for awhile, accompanied by the sounds of Mina sobbing.]

I know Anna. And she would rather not be broken.

[ Castiel doesn't think anyone would prefer it. ]

Would you think less of me if I was not... entirely whole?

If you were a part of my life, probably.

I would feel pity. And pity is the worst of all sins.

Only if you have too much hubris to handle it.

There are things far worse than pity. Betrayal, murdering of innocents, putting your self-worth above others'.

Yes. Well. I've never done well with pride.

I have a complicated relationship with it, myself, but you don't pity a friend. You care for them.

Are we friends, Castiel? The angel and the pagan monster?

Dean's an atheist who nearly ended the world. I don't see how any of that would preclude you from being my friend.

And I thought you had no sense of humour.

[ He frowns. ] Why did you think that?

Pendragon, I suppose.

He thinks I have no sense of humor because his sense of humor centers largely around physically and emotionally torturing my friends.

I can see how that might sour a relationship.

[ Castiel shook his head. ]

He's more than made up for his cruelties, but he continues to think I can't understand humor. What else has he told you about me?

[Mina smells an opportunity. She just needs to figure out how to use it...]

Oh, he told me about that awful thing.

[ A moment of terror passes over Castiel's face before he remembers that Gabriel had died before he'd made most of his mistakes. ]

What?

You know...

[Oh, hell.]

With the...Winchester boys.

You mean when we tried to save the world?

G--Pendragon made his decisions. He knows that they're appreciated.

You know his real name, don't you?

Yes, but I'm not stupid enough to tell you what it is.

Something with a hard G.

Gawain, perhaps, or Garfield.

Doesn't seem like much of a gallant, knight errant, does he?

Doesn't he? I wouldn't want to anger him, myself.

Mmm. No.
