[Dean's sitting on the hood of the Impala, grease and sweat on his grey t-shirt and on his face, and a few other cars in surprisingly good condition can be seen parked up a short distance behind him. He's got a bandana wrapped and tied around his left bicep, and a small trickle of blood can be seen dried on his sweaty, dirty skin but it doesn't

I certainly know who to call if any of my cars ever break down. Thank you, Dean.

[likemichael]

Sure thing, Doc. Hey, I'll give you a discount, since if Sammy and me get hurt more than we can handle we'll be coming round being the bugs in your soup all the time, asking to be fixed up.

[notanemptymotto]

I hardly need a discount. Though, I may need to open easily accessible files if you plan on cutting off any more casts.

[likemichael]

Well I needed it off. I can't work one armed. Guess I should have asked you to do it, right?

[notanemptymotto]

You could have certainly asked if your arm was ready to be outside of it's cast.

[likemichael]

I forget there are doctors I can trust here, I guess. Not used to that.

[notanemptymotto]

I have the feeling that trust is something you're not used to in general, Dean.

[likemichael]

So is this a thing of yours? Just picking up on fatal character flaws and making people think about them? You sure you're not an angel?

[Or, in other words, Helen hit right where it hurts and he's deflecting.]

[notanemptymotto]

I'm certainly not an angel. Merely a very old, old woman.

To answer the very deflective question? No. My "thing" is helping the unfortunate creatures of the world. No matter waht that world might be, it seems.

[likemichael]

Yeah. Sure.

I don't think I count on the list of unfortunate creatures that need help.

[notanemptymotto]

You're never going to believe that.

It certainly seems as if you are someone who needs help, Dean.

[likemichael]

Nope. Probably not.

Oh yeah? What kind of help can you give me?

[Even in text, his defensive tone is obvious enough.]

[notanemptymotto]

I thought as much.

Beyond medical aid? Perhaps being someone you can talk to. Only if you feel like you can impart information, of course. I'm hardly going to press any issue other than your reckless behavior of being healthy.

[likemichael]

Doc, it's real kind of you to offer, but I don't think I need a mom right now. I've never been the "sharing feelings" type so I'll pass.

[A few moments later:]

Thanks.

[notanemptymotto]

Then that's something we have in common.

You're welcome.
