[Video]--inner monologue

[doubtheaven]

[Castiel is at the Malibu mansion, sitting on the couch and staring at the blue-eyed puppy, who is staring back at him.]

[Maybe Tony is right. You should probably have a name by now. I wonder if it minds being called 'Dog'. I don't think it minds, but since it's not going anywhere, a name might be in order. When is Dean going to pick a name for it

~Maybe...he just wants you to pet him?~

Cute dog. Is he yours?

[doubtheaven]

[Pet him?]

[Castiel reaches down for the dog and picks the puppy up with both hands, then sets it on his lap and starts to pet. It seems pretty happy about that.]

No, he belongs to Dean.

[But I spend more time taking care of it. /grumble]

[wolfie_healer]

[small amused smile]

~Seems he likes that.~

I see. But he has no name yet?

~How sad...~

[doubtheaven]

[Maybe that's what he wanted the whole time.]

No, he doesn't. It belongs to Dean, so Dean has to name it.

You have a dog?

Current Nautilus time; 2:06pm. 0kph/0mph wind. Cloudy and overcast, likely not to be touched by direct sunlight.

Current target: Castiel, no other names. Easily out-Bended. Presumably human with human weaknesses. Aim for head, heart, or neck. Current location of target: Tony's home, approximately 22.7k from present location. Acceptable perches within 200 yards; 5. Average time to make it to target: 0.4 seconds. Small, easily provoked.

[doubtheaven]

Y-yes...

Are you planning on attacking me?

[hellbornhuntrss]

Vhot? No. Not at zer present moment. Zhould I be?

Your dog vants to play vith you.

Once upon a time there was an angel who wanted a family.

[doubtheaven]

No, you shouldn't be, but you seem to be plotting against me for some reason.

[Why else would she be considering my position and my weaknesses?]

Actually, it's Dean's dog.

AH, SO IT WASN'T YOU AFTER ALL.

[doubtheaven]

What wasn't me?

[A bony finger points at the screen.]

THE SMALL DOG. YOUR FRIEND ADDRESSED IT AS CASTIEL, SO I HAD THOUGHT THE CITY HAD CHANGED YOU. IT DOES HAVE A TENDENCY TO PICK CANINES OR FELINES FOR SOME REASON.

[doubtheaven]

....

What do you mean it was addressed as Castiel?

[video]

[crazylikefawkes]

I'm sure you will overcome it eventually---that lack of communication.

Have you had any other experience with animals?

[video]

[doubtheaven]

No, I haven't.

There was a boy looking for you.

[He was distressed.]

[crazylikefawkes]

[There's a delay before V replies, and his footsteps can be heard. He found Mitham's post; he's coming back to Nautilus. It's nothing but bad news as evidenced by his cool, humourless tone... and everything else to be heard.]

Thank you, Castiel.

Crawford's dead. He would make enemies easily but I didn't expect this---anything like this. He's a brawler; he knows how to defend himself; if he didn't, he'd have more scars to show for his history---

[cut feed]

[cue feed]

It's appreciated.

[doubtheaven]

If you need any help, please ask.

[Oh god, that's... that's adorable. Unfortunately, Mr. Special Olympics of social graces probably doesn't even know it, just like everything else that goes right over his head.]

[Sigh.]

[Hello, Mr. Special Olympics. And how are we today?]

Hi, Castiel. Where's Dean?

[Other than being a deadbeat dad to both lost puppies?]

[doubtheaven]

I don't know.

[Around somewhere.. I hope.]
