[There's the scratch of someone hitting buttons on the communications device, and a quiet, rumbly mutter of - ] ... I do not know what that means. Why give me a phone if this is the end of the world? What will I do if I run out of minutes

It's not that hard! Push a few buttons, read a few things...

Still need some help?

[dowhatimust]

[Well, you get what you ask for ... the angel starts hitting a few buttons and reading what he's hitting.]

... I believe so, because now I have your picture.

[softwaring]

[Deflating at that, and a quick double-take:] Seriously? Yikes, you're learning in all the wrong ways.

Where are you hangin', buddy? I'll come to you. Easier to do this in person, from what it sounds...

[dowhatimust]

[Have you ever seen a grown man do the awkward eight-year-old shuffle of shame? This is what you're seeing right now, Jensen.]

I am currently at the library with my ...with my friend Dean. We are researching the monster events.

[softwaring]

[He has! Mostly because he does it himself, but that's not a detail he's about to disclose. Scratching at the back of his head.]

Makes sense. Good to have a pal with you - tell you what, if he doesn't get you learning this thing, we can meet up and I can teach you a few new tricks about this little thing. [Tapping the screen for emphasis.] When it's safe, of course.

[dowhatimust]

[Birds of very different feathers can still do the shuffle of shame.]

That is very kind of you, thank you. Will you need payment for this service? I have some currency on my card. [He eyes the card now.] ...although I am not sure how that works either.

[softwaring]

[It'll be the new dance.]

Payment? Nah, consider this a kindness. Can't have you fumbling around, man. It'll help everyone in the long run - you'll see. [A beat:] I'm Jensen.

[dowhatimust]

[Best new dance.]

Then I appreciate your charity. [Another beat.] I am Castiel.

[softwaring]

Pleasure to meet you - sweet name you got there.

[dowhatimust]

[Castiel paused, looking a little baffled.]

...do you mean 'sweet' as in sugary and delightful, or 'sweet' as in cool?

[softwaring]

[Confused for a moment, but then:] -Sweet as in cool.

Should I lay off on the references for you?

[dowhatimust]

Ah. Thank you.

[Relief colored his expression after the explanation, and then he shook his head.] No, I must learn the slang, properly. Do not be surprised if I ask questions, however.

[softwaring]

Won't have any problems with that. I could add some lingo lessons in with the tech when we meet, if you want.

It'll give me somethin' to do.

[dowhatimust]

That ... would be most helpful. Thank you, Jensen. I appreciate your consideration in this.

[softwaring]

Yeah, no problem! Gotta help out where I can, right?

Just gimme a ring whenever you're free, man.

[dowhatimust]

I shall. Thank you, kindly.
