Heaven & Hell: The Barn

[thursdays_angel]

Castiel is not stalling, no matter what Uriel (who is grumbling less than quietly behind him) might believe. He is merely assessing the situation. Stalling will only prolong the sense of discomfort that this whole situation has elicited

"Hello, Castiel."

Well, really.

Who else were they gonna send?

Anna looks at both her brothers for a moment and then turns her attention back fully to Castiel.

"I like the vessel. It's a good look for you.

"The Man in the Coat."

"It's been a long time."

Not so much in years, but in all that happened in those years.

He can practically feel Uriel buzzing with Get on with it, already impatience, but Castiel ignores it. This task was given to him to do, and (by God) he will do it his way.

As soon as he figures out what that is.

"I wish that I could say it's good to see you."

Uriel was never exactly known around the Garrison for his patience.

Anna is still more or less ignoring him.

"Half a lifetime," Anna says.

If one is rounding.

And talking about her (human) lifetime.

"And it's far too late for it to be good for us to see each other, isn't it?"

[thursdays_angel]

"Too late from the moment, you Fell, I think."

Happier (or at least less difficult) moments at the End of the Universe aside.

Castiel steps forward a pace or two, closing some of the physical distance between them at least.

"I am sure you know why I'm here."
