[maddest]

[Like so many others will this week, Break wakes up screaming. The PCD isn't pointed at the bed, so it doesn't capture anything but sound until he scrambles off of it, past the camera and towards the window, throwing it open to get fresh air.

This all hits a little close to home.]

Why-

[He asks, hoarsely, a few minutes later,]

-does the network insist on displaying our grief? The timing is too consistent to be accidental.

I can't trust either one of them. The only one I can trust besides Rhode is Castiel, and even then, he lies like a politician. So everything is changing now, even if I'm not inclined to tell them how.

[He glances at the kitchen sourly.]

Aren't we having tea? Here; these are yours.

[A handful of sweets he stole from the prom.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

...all right, yes.

[Softening at the sugar.]

[thelightbringer]

I'm staying here for a while.

And I saw you dancing with my sister.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

It's very serious. I was thinking of asking her to move in.

[thelightbringer]

I could tell. She's been up all night writing you love letters.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Afraid it's a no, though. With no angel coming to stay, I might ask Undertaker.

[thelightbringer]

This all feels familiar.

And I am staying.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Really?

[thelightbringer]

[Just a smile.

Really.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll put the tea on.

[Scrambling.]

[thelightbringer]

For me or Undertaker?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

For you.

[thelightbringer]

[He does relax then.]

Good.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What do you want for breakfast?

[thelightbringer]

[Technically he brought his own (demon blood in an old flask) but he can't resist a request:]

Surprise me.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I have eggs, for once, though I'm not sure what kind of bird they're from!

[thelightbringer]

If they are from a bird? [There are strange creatures here.]

I've never had eggs.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I hope so!

[Going to turn the stove on.]

[thelightbringer]

What are you turning these eggs into?

[Moving closer to watch.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Cooked egg? Don't ask me.

[He's just cracking them into a pan.]

[thelightbringer]

As long as you don't start throwing gummy bears and chocolate sauce in the mix....

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Thank you for pilfering all that.

[thelightbringer]

I hate to see things go unappreciated.

[And no one knows how to appreciate sugar like Break. (And Gabriel, but he can make his own or steal his own.)]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

How did you find the party?

[thelightbringer]

Sonja asked me to go. She's enamored with Castiel, so I thought it was best if I went along.
