[[Two-fer, OTA, Croatoan Plot]]

'Stiles' Stilinski was more confused than anything when a small, fifty-year-old man with bloodied hands started attacking him on the street. He didn't remember the man saying anything, he just went at him with his fist. He didn't want to hurt the guy, but after a cut lip and soon-to-be-swollen eye, he had no choice but to defend himself.

To Castiel

"Why the long face, Sugarplum?" Meg asked as she began to wipe the bar.

His frown turned a little more thoughtful this time as he tilted his head to look over at her. "'Sugarplum'?"

"My siblings, that's all. I don't think I need to say more." And he wouldn't, because he'd keep Meg far out of it.

"As in the fairy." She replied with a grin. "They have wings too."

Meg listened and nodded afterwards.

"Family are pains in the butts." She said. "That's why I don't have any."

[[Urban Dictionary is the best sometimes: sugarplum fairy. The 1st one.]]

"You must have had a family at some point. Real family, I mean." Not Azazel. Or Lucifer. Meg was likely once a human, right?

"Wings are probably the only attributes that both fairies and angels have." Castiel seemed mostly indifferent about the comparison. He wasn't very amused by it, but this was Meg, and she would call him what she wanted. "Except they're both kind of..." He took a sip of the drink he'd gotten. "Dicks. I like 'Clarence' better."

[masters_meg]

"You do, do you?" Meg said with an upraised eyebrow. "Have you figured out the reference yet?"

Re: To Castiel

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

"I do and I have." Cas smiled slightly. "I think, in that film, Clarence was too friendly for my liking."

Re: To Castiel

[masters_meg]

"Right. Because you're not friendly at all," she said with amusement.

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

Cas rolled his eyes a little. "You may have a point, but he was no soldier."

Not that he really identified himself as a soldier of God so much anymore.

[masters_meg]

"Well, then, I guess I need to find another nickname for you then, huh?" Meg said as she leaned against the counter.

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

"I guess you do." He agreed with a grimace. Cas wasn't going to make it easy for her. "But only if it's better than Clarence. Oh, and 'sugarplum' is definitely out of the running. Though, does that mean I need to think of a nickname for you?"

Castiel had a feeling he'd be really terrible at that.

[masters_meg]

"As long as it won't give me a cavity, you can call me whatever you want," Meg replied with amusement.

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

He was pretty sure he'd never given Anna a nickname, but she had never given him one either. The only angels that tried nicknames were Gabriel and Balthazar, but they understood references better than he did. The others steered clear of it, though he supposed that might be because nicknames were very human things and most of them thought humans were beneath them.

"What about..." He finished his beer while thinking, eyes a bit squinty as he looked her over. "Honeybee?"

Meg must remember how much he liked bees after all.

[masters_meg]

Meg didn't look entirely convinced about the name. It was very close to things like 'honey bun' or even 'honey' which were far too endearing for her liking.

"Can't you think of anything more... sexy?" She said with an eyebrow raise. "I'm more of a wasp than a bee."

Meg was proud of that fact, too.

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

"Bees can be sexy. They're much more beautiful and useful to the environment than wasps are. Wasps don't help with pollination nearly as much- they're parasites. Athough it is true that only the female wasp has a stinger which is actually part of its sex organ. So, I guess that's 'sexy'." He used finger/air quotes for 'sexy' even if he did find that fact interesting, and he did see how Meg was more like a wasp, he couldn't think of any good nickname to come out of that.

[masters_meg]

"I'm sure you'll think of something." Meg said with amusement as she shifted where she leaned. "You've got time."

Meg wasn't sure she had many good nicknames. Dean had some for her, but they weren't flattering to most women.

[c_a_s_t_i_e_l]

"Does that mean honeybee is still out?" He sounded disappointed as he set down the empty bottle of beer. "Even in an ironic sort of way? What about if I allow sugarplum?"
