A little in different pockets. Some in different portions of your luggage. One site even suggested in the heel of your shoe.

[He makes a face.]

That seems uncomfortable.

[cholesterol]

Yeah, not good for your joints. He's not wearing a fannypack. ( He points to make his - point - clear. ) Maybe we uh, let's get him one of those wallet phone covers. And - I can see what we can scrounge up, cash-wise. In case. But, he's taking his card.

[toomuchheart]

[Castiel nods, because this sounds like a solid plan. He trusts Dean's travel experience. Probably more than he trusts the internet.]

Are you and Sam going to stay until he leaves?

[cholesterol]

Yeah, about that.

( He pulls another chair over it, straddling it from the front. )

I'm staying. For awhile. Don't know what Sam's doing. He's taking Allison Argent's lead. You... good with that?

[toomuchheart]

Of course. My home is your home.

[And Dean is welcome there anytime.]

Do you think there's a chance the hunters may come back?

[cholesterol]

( He'd say the same to Cas. He'd mean it, too. )

Don't know. It's not normally their style, but, it's only a matter of time before they switch playbooks. For now, it could be good for us to put down some roots. Let Bobby handle the bunker. We're of better use here. For Allison.

( And Elena... )

[toomuchheart]

[He nods.]

It's smart. We want to be sure that some kind of retaliation isn't being planned.

[cholesterol]

You mean because of Damon quick on the trigger Salvatore. There is one hunter left. But, he's been turned.

( How does he feel about this? )

[toomuchheart]

[Castiel doesn't know how he feels about this, but he'll defer to Dean.]

Do you think the mole will work?

[cholesterol]

They seem to think that compulsion is going to keep him in line. Make him a real threat.

( A threatening asset. )

Unless they want my help, I'm keeping out of it. Damon did it.

[toomuchheart]

[He nods.]

I think staying out of it is wise. There will likely be other ways to contribute. Mystic Falls has a severe monster problem.

[cholesterol]

Cas. They're students.

( Unless there's a lot he doesn't know. (They're always is.) )

[toomuchheart]

No, Dean. Not the students.

[He sighs.]

I'm talking about the Malivore monsters.

[cholesterol]

You mean the mud people?

( He's heard some? But, for the most part, this stays between Jack and Cas. )

Cas...

[toomuchheart]

Malivore was a construct created by a witch, a werewolf and a vampire to consume monsters in order to preserve humanity. A few years ago he started releasing them to release himself.

[Castiel makes a face.]

It can get quite messy.

[cholesterol]

In town. Near Jack.

[toomuchheart]

Yes. But most of the time, the school had it well in hand. And he liked helping with the monsters. It inspired a sense of camaraderie.

[cholesterol]

So. You're telling me. We send him to school. And he hunts. Anyway. Great parenting we did.

( Now he feels guilty. )

[toomuchheart]

[Cas huffs a little.]

The monsters came to him, Dean. It's not like he went looking for them. He was defending his friends.

[cholesterol]

I know. He's good. He cares. I don't want anything to happen to him, Cas.

( Not when he can't be there. )

[toomuchheart]

I know. I don't either.

[At the same time ...]

But he needs to be given a chance to handle things on his own.

[cholesterol]

Yeah.

I should work on getting us cash reserves, then. This won't be the last time we need it. It'll be good to have a project. Any uh - any angelradio going?

[toomuchheart]

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing we need to worry about, anyway.

[cholesterol]

And how are you doing? Proud angel papa?

( One of three Papas. But, proud nonetheless, he thinks. )

[toomuchheart]

[A small smile crosses his face and he nods.]

I am proud. He did very well at the school. And I am hopeful for the life he'll get to have because of it.

[Jack really did need more friends his own age.]
