No, you didn't.

[It's a feeling he's familiar with, because when it comes to being a famous name in the hunting world, how people react in response can be complicated.]

She may have tried making this about you, but that's not on you. That's not something you could control.

[matriarchate]

She used my grandfather's name. She blamed me and saw me as this ultimate enemy... She never even met me. She was my guidance counselor and she -- never knew me.

( She looks up at him. )

I know I had no choice.

( But she still regrets it. )

[imnot_likeyou]

It's okay to feel the weight of that. It's what makes us human.

[For better or for worse, they have to feel it. It's when they stop feeling it that they start getting into trouble.]

And it's what makes you different from her.

[Because he has a feeling that Monroe wouldn't have lost a minute of sleep for killing Allison.]

[matriarchate]

I just wish I could've gotten through to her, no matter how much I know it would have never happened.

( Can she get one more hug? )

[imnot_likeyou]

[She can absolutely get one more hug. He slides his arms around her shoulders, pulling her in closer and resting his chin against the top of her head.]

I know. Me too.

[matriarchate]

( She accepts his warmth and his words before looking up. )

You know I like you?

[imnot_likeyou]

[Looks back down at her with a small smirk.]

I would hope so. I like you too.

[matriarchate]

Well, you hope correct. ( She smiles at her grammar faux pas, just being cute now. ) After I check in with the bayou wolves, do you think we could go somewhere? I think I need to sleep indefinitely. I heard having a nap partner could do wonders.

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah, I think we can do that.

[He's more than willing to be her nap partner, any time.]

Want me to go with you to the bayou?

[matriarchate]

You're more than welcome. It's going to be teeming with werewolves. I know you're not your brother, but...

( She needs to draw the line. Her friends, the people they help, can't trigger a Winchester. She likes him a lot, but prejudice will end them quickly. )

[imnot_likeyou]

[No, he understands why she needs to ask that, especially with how volatile things have been as of late.]

I can play nice with the werewolves. Unless you think it would be better if I didn't go.

[Just because he is a Winchester and he knows the weight of his name.]

[matriarchate]

I think that they will take any help they can get. If they can work with an Argent, they can work with a Winchester. Lydia will probably come with?

( They will have their own time soon! )

[imnot_likeyou]

[He nods, because that makes sense.]

Let's go find her.

[And with that, they will track down the redhead and head off to the bayou.]
