A gesture to bring us into the next part of our relationship.

( Perhaps. He could try. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[She nods with a smile, before teasing.]

If nothing else, she'll appreciate your excellent penmanship. Freya could also probably send it for you to save time.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

She could. I take it Freya has us cloaked for the time being?

( He... didn't ask, focusing on his siblings and his nephew. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[Bela nods.]

She was finishing the wards before she went to sleep. We should be safe from prying eyes, at least for now.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

If any hunters are working with any witches.

( He doubts that, very much, hearing about the hunters who tracked his loved ones down. Or, who didn't. )

[enjoythe_ride]

I don't think that's a problem this time around.

[Why would someone team up with one of the targets on her list?]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

As do I. These hunters seem very cut and dry. Their bottom line is paper thin.

( Kill supernaturals on that list. )

[enjoythe_ride]

It is. Which fortunately makes them easy to predict.

[And hopefully they'll be able to keep avoiding them here.]

I'm sure there's someone working on resolving the situation. We just have to wait it out.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

Under the right circumstances, there is nothing wrong with waiting. We're lucky we're to be waiting with family underfoot.

( It is a luxury for them. )

[enjoythe_ride]

And things with your family are certainly never boring.

[Prague and New Orleans being cases in point.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

And you have never been accused of being boring in kind.

( They, too, make a pair. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[Yes, they do.]

That's good to hear, as I intend on sticking around for a while. I would hate for things to get monotonous.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

With us?

( He doesn't believe they could. )

Let's keep the Winchesters a state's length away for our own good. I can't promise not to rip either of their throats out if they come calling once again.

[enjoythe_ride]

Oh, believe me. I was much more comfortable when we were on another continent.

[But alas, there's not much they can do about it now.]

But I don't think Dean is looking to pick a fight any more than I'm looking to cross paths with them again.

[But you know what they say about wishful thinking.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

He shouldn't, if he or his brother know what's best. The Winchesters have long been on the other side when it comes to hunting, and only recently have taken up the same war.

( They can't be too careful. )

Any word from Bonnie Bennett?

[enjoythe_ride]

[She nods.]

She's heading out of town with Isaac and Caroline. She didn't specify where, but I'm assuming that they have somewhere safe to run to.

[If she knew that they were heading right towards the Winchesters, she would be more concerned, but it's probably for the best.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

Caroline Forbes has a good head on her shoulders. She wouldn't make her escape if she didn't have a plan in mind. It sounds like we are all in the wind and better for it.

( You know. He hopes. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[Fingers crossed. Though given that they're digging into the Colony and David is heading right into the heart of it, odds are not high.]

It certainly sounds like things are calm for now.

[For now.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

One of these days, 'for now,' will leave our vocabulary entirely.

( It's not true. It's a bold-faced lie. But, it's a kind lie. )

Shall we turn in?

[enjoythe_ride]

[And she knows it's a lie, but it's a nice lie all the same. She nods with a smile as she holds her hand out to him.]

Yes, let's.

[And off they will go to enjoy a calm night's sleep for now.]
