[The NV clicks on what would be on it's own, if not for the fact that there's actually a reason for it. The reason isn't readily apparent, though, and instead you get a view of part of Castiel's kitchen and living room.

[Sitting on the sidewalks like a bum, again, Artemis? Yeah, he is, lost in his own little world and turning the pink orb of his NV around and around in his hand.
