[This place is a bit more high-class than what Dean's used to, but it's easy enough for him to don one of his suits, usually reserved for impersonating a federal agent, and take a seat at one of the tables. And hey, going to a fancy place like this was actually nice every once in a while. Picking up classy women was always a good change of pace.

When Dean hears the familiar voice ask for his order, he has to do a bit of a double-take. He knits his brows in confusion, surprised to see Castiel here, and apparently as a waiter on top of it.]

...Cas?

[He looks over his shoulder, almost as if he has to make sure that this is real, and that they're actually in this restaurant.]

Do you work here?

[deansangel918]

[Cas was rather surprised to see Dean walk in, but he'll do his job anyway.]

Temporarily. I'm filling in for a friend who is ill.

[What else was he supposed to ask? Oh right.]

Would you like to hear our specials?

[want_some_pie]

[By now, Dean really ought to be used to Cas doing things for him, but in this sort of setting, it's just weird. Shouldn't stop him from doing what he came to do, though.]

Okay. Let's hear 'em.

[deansangel918]

[And a listing of the specials goes here. Probably all very fancy stuff, and probably not any burgers and fries.]

Would you like a drink while you decide on your order?

[want_some_pie]

[He's more concerned with the alcohol they have at this place, anyway.]

Double whiskey sounds good, on the rocks.

[deansangel918]

[Cas nods and walks away to the bar. He comes back and puts Dean's drink down in front of him.]

Anything else?

[want_some_pie]

Think you could zap over a burger?

[Dean gives a grin like he knows it's a bit of a silly request, yet he figures he'll try his luck anyway.]

[deansangel918]

[That just gets him a slightly exasperated look from Cas.]

I don't think they have the kind of burgers you prefer on the menu here.

[want_some_pie]

[He doesn't see why Cas can't just teleport somewhere and bring back a regular burger, but Dean doesn't feel like arguing that right now, so he just glances over the menu until something interesting catches his eye.]

How about... Crab à la king. And keep the whiskey coming.

[Dean finishes his double shot in one gulp.]

[deansangel918]

[Cas nods, but doesn't leave right away. He's watching Dean with curiosity.]

Do you have the funds to pay for this?

[want_some_pie]

[It'll probably cost nearly all of his paycheck, but Dean isn't saving up for anything. He still doesn't believe that his home planet was destroyed.]

I picked up a side-job for the month.

[He frowns as he thinks about the nasty job he got stuck with - washing elephants.]

[deansangel918]

[Cas just nods, picks up the empty glass, and goes off to put in the order.

He comes back with another glass of whiskey.]

What kind of job?

[want_some_pie]

[Dean takes the second glass and sips at this one more slowly. He pauses before answering, a little too proud to reveal exactly what it is he's doing.]

...Cleaning.

[deansangel918]

[There's a brief pause while Cas tries to imagine this.]

Cleaning. I see.

[want_some_pie]

[He decides to tell the whole truth, but it comes out as a mumble as he takes another sip of his drink.]

Elephants.

[deansangel918]

... What about them?
