Another nice one.

Thank you!

Ohhh. Lovely.

He uses three-quarters of the money to purchase a ticket on a bus named after a breed of racing dog... I snorted out loud on that one.

I love Castiel's innocence through out this. That is so like him, but little bits, like his attempt to quantify Dean's remarks and his level of hurt, those are things we really aren't privy to so reading them here is perfect.

I loved then ending too. It made me smile.

Thank you so much! I'm very pleased you liked it. I was rather fond of the "racing dog" line myself. :D

I quite like exploring Castiel's inner monologue.

Yes. His innocence, that touches the good folk around him even though they have no idea what they're sensing. Very much reminded me of one of the more memorable Greyhound rides of my lifetime.

I'm so glad this rang true. Thank you!

[ratherastory]

Thanks!

I had a LOT of fun imagining Dean's exasperated look upon discovering an abundance of pink and rhinestones, and possibly some smart-alec remarks about getting Sam a matching outfit. ;)

oh, you. You've left me with tears pricking my eyes. It was the blessing at the end that got me most.

[ratherastory]

Aww! *hugs*

I'm glad you liked it. I was rather pleased with the blessing, myself. :)
