Action because I can

[Jo pops up next to him, surveying the bodies with a bit of disappointment.]

I think you misunderstood subtle, Castiel.

[And why didn't she get to help?]

[bladedfeathers]

It won't be easy.

[What has been for them?]

...But it will be the best.

[dowhatimust]

No ... no it will not.

[He will miss the earth - miss the friends he had made - especially Dean. Even when Dean isn't particularly kind to him when the blood came upon him.]

Yes. Yes it will be.

[bladedfeathers]

We will be victorious.

[She doesn't have anything more to say.]

[dowhatimust]

[He looked towards Jo, and silently held out his hand to her.]

And no matter what - we shall have one another. My dearest sister, never fear that we, and we alone, will always be Family.

[bladedfeathers]

[She reaches out to take that hand, holding it tightly.]

I know. I'll always stand with you, brother.

[She hopes it doesn't actually need to be said aloud. She hopes he knows that.]

[dowhatimust]

[He squeezed her hand in kind.]

And I am ever grateful, for your support ... and your company. I would not have been able to get this far without you.

[Nothing does, but he says it anyways. Because even while they understand each other perfectly, sometimes ... you simply must speak.]

[bladedfeathers]

You're correct there.

[But it's teasing. Castiel would have managed, she's almost certain of that.]

[dowhatimust]

[A faint smile curved his lips again, before he gave her a wry look.]

Your ...confidence is encouraging.

[bladedfeathers]

I do my best.
