[All is quiet at about 3AM in the middle of Promenade on the third most level of the eleventh housing building until an audible smack of the headboard against the wall of his bedroom can be heard and then another loud thud resounds as he takes a tumble to the floor out of his king sized mattress. His hand palms his temple after smacking his head to

Or, welp. A whole demon now. Yay.
But the voice sounds familiar, even if her looks don't.]
Did you get mauled by a two ton truck or are you just happy to be back here?

I'm not stupid, Dean. I was given a chance to save humanity- and I took it. You'd do the same, and don't you dare lie to me. I know you.

[Resisting the urge to pinch the sinus points at the bridge of his nose Dean instead leans his temple up against the door frame.] Guess I missed damn near everything.

[She's glad it didn't escalate, really. The last thing she needed was the two of them fighting or not talking, because she knows others would pick up on it, and it could only mean trouble.]
Apparently this whole place isn't run by the royals, but by some kid. Don't know who it is, just that people are afraid of him.

So. Are we gonna stand out here all night or are we gonna keep talking in your place? You can even leave the door open, I won't hit you. Promise.

There's somethin' worse than torture? [Dean doesn't look so sure but he masks it by toeing off his boots because his feet hurt something awful from falling asleep with them laced.] Be honest, K, how long've I been dead weight?
Feels like I missed a goddamn year in this shit hole.

Carefully.]
Yeah. Branding. [She motions to her eye at this point.] I saw the video after I came back. She got branded for being a traitor in her eye. I don't know if it ever goes away.
[At his question though, Krypta shakes her head, shrugging.]
I'm not the best to ask, Dean. I was gone for three weeks here, before coming back. That was two years in my own world. You were asleep before then, but I can't remember for how long.

[It's said with sarcasm, obviously. At this point it's better than the standstill she had with Ichigo, Lii, and Shiro.]
Can pack a punch too, if I need it.

I bet, you always could.

Maybe. But you always knew the hunter stuff better than me.

You're still a hell cat.

[It's not said defiantly, just as a statement. She knows that what she is isn't considered human anymore, even if Ichigo says she is. That's just how things are.
But the next thing may or may not catch him by surprise.]
Which is why I need to ask you something, Dean. Something important.

If... if something happens, Dean, I don't know what I'd do-- something that I can't control. You know what I am. You know what can happen, too.
If something happens, and I'm responsible... where I lose myself, somehow... take care of me. Like a hunter does. Make it a promise that you'll do that for me.
[For once, Krypta doesn't end the question with a plea. It's more like a demand, that he kill her if she ever loses herself, or if her demon side goes nuts and she can't control it. He knows what to do, and he knows he'd ask her to do the same, if he was in her position. She'd rather die than hurt anyone or kill them.]
