[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.

Jinx got Gabriel, and he isn't doing anything evil.

[thelightbringer]

Evil isn't the problem. The last time Gabriel was tripping over himself for a girl, I--

My family doesn't share well. And it ends with picking sides.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I don't think that will happen here.

[thelightbringer]

And why is that?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Gabriel is Wily. Castiel is a puppy.

[thelightbringer]

And they both love humans more than they love family.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What an unimaginable crime.

[thelightbringer]

[Resisting the urge to hurt him...]

It means if pushed to it, they'll betray me.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What do I know? I'm just a human.

[thelightbringer]

A human who has been to one version of hell and back. Twice. It gives you perspective.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well, my perspective is that I'm not worried.

[thelightbringer]

[He prods the eggs]

...and why is that?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

They'll no doubt try to do the right thing.

[thelightbringer]

The 'right thing' is at odds with what they think I am.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

[thelightbringer]

The war wasn't fought because they believe me, Xerxes.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

We should change the topic.

[thelightbringer]

You should make a habit of getting Raphael to do things.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Did she enjoy herself? I couldn't tell.

[thelightbringer]

No one can, but it was good for her. If anyone needs more life experience, it's.... Well, it's all of them. But her and Castiel especially.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll keep it in mind.

[thelightbringer]

Promises promises~

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Eat your eggs, Lord of Flies.

[thelightbringer]

You know how to kill an appetite.

Let's eat on the balcony.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Here.

[Handing him two plates full.]

I'll meet you up there with the tea tray.
