twenty-one; looonely~ I was so lonely~ I had nobody~ for my own~

[onlyapparate]

It's been a quiet week at the Castle, hasn't it? Has anyone seen Kallen around? I haven't heard from her...

I'm... still around, I suppose. Staying positive and working with Raphael on surpassing his biting phase. He listens to me now, which is an improvement, but... [ pauuuse for sighs. ] I don't think he and Anna will ever get along

[OH HEY who's that creeping up on your journal. What's this? New poltergeist? Not me. ...okay, me.] So you're one of the "lucky ones" who got a demon kitten?

[onlyapparate]

.... [ Is this Gabriel? The brother Castiel seemed so worried about? The one he basically said he didn't want Thobari to meet? ...He can't be that bad, right? ]

I got the worst one. [ The one that "killed" Cas. ]

[heavens_email]

[You're kind of boring. :| Talking about cats.] It's a kitten, not a lion. Man up.

[onlyapparate]

Well, you'd know what he's like, wouldn't you!? [ Obtuse way of calling you out, Gabe? ]

Honestly, giving me Raphael, what was Castiel thinking...?

[heavens_email]

[AHAHA like Gabriel would rise to such simple bait.] Naaaah, I dunno, never met the little bugger.

[onlyapparate]

[ Sadly, Thobari has nothing else up his sleeve. ]

Well, he hates everyone. Is that a familiar trait?

[heavens_email]

Eh, well. All kittens are either loving or evil. You sir have sadly been given the... less loving. [Is Gabriel going to offer some encouragement, or advice? Ffft. No.] Sucks to be you.

[onlyapparate]

[ grumblegrumblegrumble. Aren't you the agreeable type, Gabe. I can feel the love, really. ]

[ Let's just cut right to it, then. ]

So, you're Castiel's brother, right?

[heavens_email]

Mmmm, that depends on who's asking.

[onlyapparate]

Oh, right. I guess I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Thobari Durandal Kumohira, one of the professors for Defense Against the Dark Arts. I first met Castiel when I studied here around... ten years ago, I guess. [ Guess what he knows~ ]

You are Gabriel, right?

[heavens_email]

[Oh, Gabriel knows exactly what you know.]

That's one heck of a mouthful there, kiddo. [Deliberates for a moment on telling the truth... and decides ah, what the hell, it can't hurt. Though undoubtedly it will. Whatever.] Yeah, I suppose I am. Does it matter any?

[onlyapparate]

[ shit shit shit, it's really him, shit. CAS SAID HE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO MEET;;; Now what? A dilemma; satisfy his curiosity, or run like hell from the one brother who had the guts to run away when his whole family was killing itself? ]

[ Maybe he should just... act natural? And by natural I mean, scribble the words down so fast and hard that they're barely legible. ]

Yeah, that's right. Just Thobari or Professor Kumohira is what people tend to call me.

...n-not really. What brings you here?

[heavens_email]

[You are amusingly flustered. Gabriel, naturally, figures that Castiel has already warned this guy about him, which doesn't bother him that much. Or maybe it does, that is not important.

The sights and the memories, Professor.

[onlyapparate]

They're all lovely, I'm sure.

[ Probably not the best idea to counter-snide Gabe, Tobi. But there you go. He falls into every trap head first. ]

[heavens_email]

Oh, I have barely scratched the surface in two weeks. Lots to see, more to do, and plenty of time to do it in. [Scary voice. This means you are going to be a victim of his fun at some point in the future for that snide remark.]

[onlyapparate]

[ There's no going back, is there? ]

Well, uhm... I'm sure you must be very busy, then.
