Saving Grace (Closed to Anna and, later, Balthazar)
It was time. Anna had kept her Grace for long enough, and now Castiel would persuade her to give it up again. He had everything prepared, and texted Balthazar (handwaved) that he could either come and join him as he went to talk to Anna or to at least be on alert or on the lookout in case he needed him. He was sure his Brother would pick the latter.
Castiel texted Anna (also handwaved), asking her if she could stop by The Ribbon as he thought, again, that Bernie might want to see her. He would have told her they needed to talk, but he was worried that she would get offended by such a phrase- or at least think that she had somehow done something wrong. He didn't want her upset.
Anyway, Castiel waited at The Ribbon, the new safe the next room over from the main area in the office. He also had the syringe and other things he'd need (a glass vial for one) in a box on a table not too far from where he sat with Bernie. The dog was here, he didn't lie about that, but he'd have to be sent back and shut in another room once they actually started the procedure.
