[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 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.)]

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.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I thought Castiel was with the little firebreathing girl?

[thelightbringer]

Not according to either of them, but their actions speak louder, don't they?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

So it's unofficial? Pity, she could probably help him a great deal. Although- I like you trusting him.

[thelightbringer]

The closer he gets to her, the less I can trust him. Not that Sonja's infatuation is any better, but at least I know she won't convince him to turn on me.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

She won't. You must know that.

[thelightbringer]

...No. I don't.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

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.
