001 | Castiel | [Accidental Video]

[happytobleed]

[The wearer is obviously unaware that the thing on their wrist is recording anything. The image moves with their arm. It's a bedroom. There's a brief flash of another person and then the screen fills with a glow.]

'Cas, what the hell.'

[Now, there are trees and a road. The wearer starts to run. There's a glint of something long and metallic in his hand. There's a crash somewhere and they stop cold, panting harshly.

They move towards the sound slowly until finally it's revealed to be a squirrel.]

... How? Dean?!

I made a mistake. I hurt my friend to do it. Afterwards, I did what I could to fix it, but I was forced to take on the damage that I had done to him in order to help him.

[It's painful to talk about and that's already more than he would have given without some supernatural prodding, but he doesn't want to tell her any more than that.

He looks away, breaking eye contact.] I don't believe I've met one of your kind before.

[primogen_vampirate]

[An eyebrow raises.]

A doctor?

[happytobleed]

No, Mina. Not a doctor.

Not a human, either. What are you?

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, that's a deeply personal question.

[She sucks in air between her teeth, debating whether or not it's time to take out her pistols. She decides against it for the moment.]

Oh, bugger. What gave me away?

[happytobleed]

I could see what you were the moment you opened the door, though trying to force me to answer your questions might have given you away even if I hadn't already known.

I don't recommend you use anything like that on either of the Winchesters or I will be forced to show you what I can do.

[primogen_vampirate]

I suppose I deserve to be threatened. Although I fail to see the relevance of the Winchesters.

[She folds her arms, looking a little peeved.]

Kindred. Clan Ventrue. Circle of the Crone. Valkyrien Amazon.

[happytobleed]

They are my friends and I don't intend to let anyone or anything hurt them.

[He has a lot of mistakes to make up for and he can start by keeping them as safe as he can. He won't let her hurt them and he won't let Gabriel, either.]

I don't intend to threaten you. I simply intend to inform you that a threat to them is a threat to me. I don't care what you are, so long as you don't hurt anyone I care about.

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, I am a doctor. There is that whole bit about "do no harm."

[But this is irritating her now.]

What are you? My little parlour trick is usually less obvious.

[happytobleed]

You'd be surprised how many human doctors don't follow that.

[But he sounds just a little relieved to know that she doesn't intend to hurt anyone.]

I'm very likely something you don't believe in, but I wouldn't be concerned. It must be very good if it worked on me at all.

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, I am the best. And you would be surprised what I believe in.

[She drops her pad and 'scope back into her bag.]

[happytobleed]

I'm an angel.

[primogen_vampirate]

[That one takes her a minute.]

Castiel. Casti-El. El. The name of god.

Interesting. Not necessarily proof, but interesting.

[happytobleed]

I don't have anything to prove. I told you that you wouldn't believe me.

Dean didn't believe me at first, either.

[He would just as soon have the people here assume that he's something else entirely if it suits them. He can't sense the presence of the Leviathan, but that doesn't mean he's safe.]

[primogen_vampirate]

[Mina curses softly in Norse.]

You're stubborn, aren't you?

[happytobleed]

I learned from the best.

[primogen_vampirate]

[She finally cracks a smile.]

I can appreciate that.

[happytobleed]

[He smiles back.]

So of course I know exactly how infuriating it is. What, exactly, do you want me to prove?

[primogen_vampirate]

That you're an angel.

[happytobleed]

I'm not certain how I can prove that to you.

[primogen_vampirate]

You really lack imagination, my dear.

[happytobleed]

You could rationalize most things as my being a witch or a demon or perhaps some other creature from your world I've never seen.

[primogen_vampirate]

Believe me, dear, I know a thing or two about witches. And you are not a witch.

[happytobleed]

[He smiles a little.] But I suppose I could still be a demon, right?

[primogen_vampirate]

Not sure I believe in demons. Other than alcohol.

[happytobleed]

What do you believe in? Other than Kindred and witches who are nothing like me?
