Vacation. It's great that you're in town, and helping Sam and Dean and staying close when not saving the world. But, I'm in Europe. Who knows what happens next. Have you ever thought about doing something yourself? Like your own vacation.

( Are there other angels he's friends with? )

[toomuchheart]

[Oh. Well, that's ... not something he's ever considered.]

I never really thought about it. Things have actually been rather quiet here. The Winchesters are quite busy.

[Getting laid, obviously.]

[ergowwwd]

The hunters were taken care of, though. Right?

( He may not be a virgin, thanks Salvatore school, but his first thoughts are never about getting laid. Good that Dean didn't rub off on him, right? )

[toomuchheart]

[It's honestly for the best.]

Yes, they were taken care of. At least the ones that intended to attack the school.

[ergowwwd]

Are Sam and Dean on another hunt?

( Why are they so busy? )

[toomuchheart]

No. Their reasons for being busy are ... interpersonal.

[Yes, that's a nice sanitized "Dad" way of putting things.]

[ergowwwd]

They're not getting along?

( This is still Jack, so even sanitizing it like that doesn't quite land either. )

Should I come back home?

[toomuchheart]

Oh, no. Not that kind of interpersonal.

[The brothers are fine for now.]

They're ... pursuing romantic interests.

[ergowwwd]

Oh. Eileen?

( Has he missed Sam and Eileen reconnecting? And, who would Dean be pursuing? He's never seen Dean pursue anyone. )

[toomuchheart]

No, not Eileen.

[He makes a face because he's not sure how to phrase these things.]

Dean is spending time with Doctor Gilbert, and Sam with a hunter we've been working with.

[ergowwwd]

So, they're having sex.

( Romantically interested in one another. Right, Dad! )

[toomuchheart]

[This is why he doesn't have these conversations.]

I haven't asked, but I would assume so.

[ergowwwd]

And they're happy.

( He hopes. He imagines! )

They should be. And I really like Dr. Gilbert.

[toomuchheart]

I like her too.

[And more importantly, Dean seems to as well.]

They're ... seeing how things go. Whatever that means.

[ergowwwd]

I don't know what that means.

( He parses it for clues. )

But, maybe it's about going with the flow. Letting it happen. And, if it doesn't happen, then nobody is hurt. Because you were... seeing it. Like if you fit.

[toomuchheart]

I'd assume so, yes.

[He is not well versed enough in these things to know if it's actually effective in practice.]

I just know that they're spending a lot of time together.

[ergowwwd]

Both Sam and the hunter and Dean and Dr. Gilbert. Together?

( That seems efficient but not romantic. )

[toomuchheart]

[His brow furrows before he shakes his head.]

No, separately. In their individual couples.

[ergowwwd]

Like on dates.

( He gets it! )

[toomuchheart]

Yes. Presumably.

[He hasn't seen them ... actually on a date. It's a very small town. Whatever, it's fine, Jack doesn't need to think too hard about any of that.]

[ergowwwd]

Do you go on dates?

( LMAO is this the time, Jack? But, his friends are definitely still behind him just -- doing other things. )

[toomuchheart]

No.

[A pause.]

Shouldn't you be spending time with your friends?

[ergowwwd]

Yeah, just wanted to check in. Say hello. Hello. Love you!

( That was an easy out, right, Cas? Maybe ignore Dean's text message making fun of Cas' dating habits and why Jack is asking about them. )
