( Don't speak platitudes with him, Bela! )
no subject
[... She doesn't actually know that for sure, but she would assume that Elijah would want to protect Hope's girlfriend.]
no subject
( Not his business, and he's spreading it to Elena but it's hard to take her at her word, it just is. )
no subject
Bela fights the urge to roll her eyes, even if he can't see her. Because while no money has exchanged hands, and she and Bonnie never talked price, she doesn't think that Dean will believe it otherwise.
He'll deride her for it, but he won't believe that she's actually capable of altruism.]
Yes. Paid in full. I'm on the case.
no subject
( It's valid. With your track record, Bela? Valid. )
no subject
[She understands it's valid but let's think about that for a second.]
And the only member of the Colony I do consistent business with is David Gainor, who is interested in keeping Bonnie on his side.
no subject
( Sorry, Elena. )
Look. If Bonnie gets out of this... ( He breaks the phone up to his lips tapping it, exhaling, bringing it back down. ) We're still not square.
no subject
[She doesn't have much hope in Dean's ability to change his opinion.]
I'll settle for you not ruining my wardrobe if we ever see each other again.
no subject
( He's just going to assume you wanted it to happen. Also, thanks, Sam for missing this entire conversation. He thinks he did good... enough. )
no subject
Bela does roll her eyes this time, staring up at the ceiling.]
Fine. I'll do my best.
[Because that's all she can promise because she knows better than that.]
no subject
Fine. Anything else?
no subject
No, I think that covered it all. Lovely talking to you again, Dean.
[And that was one hundred percent sarcasm, but she's going to hang up now.]
no subject
He just growls, grinding his teeth as he snaps his old phone closed. )
no subject
You okay?
no subject
( He sets the phone back down, but on the dining room table. )
I haven't seen her in thirteen years.
no subject
[She settles back on the couch to watch him.]
It sounded like that had been bubbling up for a while.
no subject
( But, maybe, he really hadn't gotten over it. Maybe, he continued to repress and compartmentalize every shitty thing that happened, starting with his time in Hell. )
I'm sorry, our lives usually suck. When we plan, God literally laughs.
( His wired energy lowers itself again, finally bringing himself to turn to face Elena. )
I went to Hell. I - we tried everything to, to save my life and invisible mutts ripped me open. I was in Hell for months, but it felt like longer. Until Cas pulled me out. I didn't want to become a vampire. Didn't even think it would work. And she... I'm not telling your best friend what to do, but she needs to watch her back.
( He's not in the mood anymore, he's not - anything anymore. He heads back down the hallway to Elena's bedroom. He's exhausted. He needs a minute. He needs -- he's needed ten years worth of minutes. )
Bela. ( He speaks to himself like he still can't believe it, sitting on the edge of the bed just - floundering. )
