Fourth Cut | Audio

[daddysknife]

I'll be closing the Roadhouse for about a week, guys.

[She had planned on just cutting hours, but she couldn't get Lycus on the phone and he was off the list. He was gone too, but she didn't know if that was permanent or temporary. Either way, with Castiel needing her help with Sam and Gabriel, she needed to close for a bit.]If you need me, call

[Text, just while he goes to find her]

Closing? Why? Are you going somewhere nice for your holidays?

[Action]

[Not that there's much point reply to that text, Jo, because almost as soon as it's arrived, so has Wings McLaren here] I could help out, I mean I make a mean cocktail. If you want. Just, you know, offering.

[daddysknife]

You, work here?

[She laughs, ducking behind the counter to find a glass for this lilac she had been left.]

I don't need mean anything, thanks.

[trickster_mk2]

[He shrugs, moving to sit on one of the bar-stools and watching her. She can't say he didn't offer, but fine, he wasn't going to push it]

Alright, alright. You're a strong independent lady who doesn't need bored old arch-angels to lend a hand, I get it. So tell me who the posie's from.

[daddysknife]

[Last time he helped he left a bleach stain on the floor her father laid by hand. She's not pleased.]

It's a lilac. Don't you wanna guess?

Action

[The angel appears, briefly, by her side. He give her a shy smile, before putting a single cutting of a lilac on the wooden bar. Then he disappeared, just as abruptly as he entered, with only the sound of canvas snapping in his wake.]

[daddysknife]

Ca-

[And here she had thought she was used to him popping in and out. She shook her head with a soft smile, reaching out for the flower.

A good surprise. Oh, angel.]

Thank you.

[dowhatimust]

[And just when she thought he was gone - and Jo is briefly distracted by something Gabriel does - Castiel reappears. Just long enough to pull her to him, steal a kiss against the bar, and then disappear again like smoke. He was rather enjoying this 'surprises' option of their relationship.]

[daddysknife]

[She bit back a laugh, quickly returning her attention to Gabriel.]

Okay so. What if I was carrying something? Surprise kisses like that may have to be regulated

[malfunctionbot]

S-s-somethin' up, boss?

[daddysknife]

Nah, not really. [Lying liar.]

How's the year treatin' you?

[malfunctionbot]

C-cause I believe that. [A snort]

Eh, could'a started off better if ya ask me.

[daddysknife]

[The first thirty hours had such promise.]

Yeah, it could've. You need to talk?

Finally remodeling the place?

[daddysknife]

[Wonderful.]

As soon as I get the check from you for it.

[ironfail]

[A slight pause, then when Tony replies he sounds slightly less teasing.]

Do you need money?

[Because she's in trouble or something financially - ]

[daddysknife]

[Is this for real-]

If I did, I wouldn't be closing my business, would I?
