003 | video; Thanksgiving
Hey, I'm guessing a lot of you come from a place that has some kind of holiday like Thanksgiving, or at least something like it.
Where I'm from, we just... gathered together on this day, made a veritable feast from what little we had and spent the rest of the night eating, drinking and making merry.
I like to think it's a good time to reflect on what ( Read more... )

That we know each other in their future shouldn't be a big fucking deal. Kill the melodrama, bro. They're not bright enough to even guess at the truth.
I told Sam to go pester Bobby. What did you tell him, anyway?

[Cas doesn't get mad, not anymore at least... but he's pretty close.]
What's your angle this time? Why would you go and start fishing for interest by mentioning his soul in the first place?

[regards Cas with amusement]
His soul? It's always about souls, Cas. They were playing soul hockey with Azazel way before Luci broke out. They need to be more careful. If I gotta play the bad guy for that to happen... [shrugs]
It wouldn't be the first time. Or the last.

Cool it with telling them about their dark future, alright? They don't need to know, just like everyone in town doesn't need to know about your heavenly background, right?

It's fun to dangle hints in front of the boys to watch them squirm around, but I'm not about to drop anything that's actually important on them.
Relax. You really suck at this threat stuff anyway, pretty boy angel.

You know, I thought you might be relieved to find someone you could be yourself around for once -- guess you were just playing me, huh?

I've been The Trickster too long to just turn that part of me off. Call it instinct or being an idiot, but I don't want those boys finding out about their fates anymore than you do. My reasons for that are completely different from yours.
But you can't bubble-wrap them and coddle them like children and hope for the best. They won't stand for it and you're not their daddy or great protector, Cas.

I told you, it wasn't up for debate. [Cas tosses up his hands.]
I really wish you didn't make an enemy of me, Gabe. It could've been a fresh start, and you blew it... for what, a few laughs?

They don't know anything. They're not going to know anything. I haven't told them anything important and there's enough lies mixed in with the truth that they're not going to put anything together.
Besides word games, I haven't touched a hair on their precious heads. Tell them whatever you want.

[Cas doesn't really think he needs to go on, and doesn't really want to. This whole thing is ridiculous and could've been avoided so easily.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what else he threw in there... he gave enough away to get the boys to start digging at something, and if there was one thing they were good at, it was being tenacious.]
Seriously, what other 'little slips' have you done in the short time I've even been here? This wasn't just sloppy, it was reckless and pretty damn myopic.

This isn't home, as Dean found out when he pissed everyone off the moment he got here. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten himself killed yet.
Sam needs to grow up. His soul is on the line and at any moment Luci could pop into this place and grab it. He won't wait for Sam to remember anything to do it. He needs to be ready for it even if he doesn't know the details.

[Unphased by the attempts to change the facts, not because Gabriel isn't convincing... but because it's just too black and white.
Fact was, there was a deal and Gabe broke it -- no amount of Gabriel's charm, or misdirection and excuse making is going to change that... and that trust isn't easy to get back. Shame too, because Cas was looking forward to a fresh start... but not at the cost of other people's happiness.]
I get it. You made a deal and broke it the second it stopped being entertaining, fine.

That they've got to be careful around demons and their souls are tasty? That I respect you enough to reassure Sam I won't be killing Dean off again because I know you?
[Gabriel's genuinely confused where he's gone wrong, nothing he'd said had seemed like that big a deal from his perspective. That might be part of the problem, Cas is mortal and Gabriel is Trickster and has never had to be anything else. He didn't make deals as he knew them and his arrangement with Cas had seemed like more of an understanding to keep the Winchesters in the dark about certain things.]
What's your problem?
