So my gun, it's supposed to just…get stronger right? [ Hello network, here's a face you haven't seen in a while. Dean's been trying to learn what this place is all about, but today finds him in the training hall with his beloved .45 caliber Colt. He's shaking the damn thing like its offended him somehow. ] Maybe mine is broken…

[ Hm. Tucking it away, he has another thing to ask. ]

Also, a year on freakin' paradise beach land has left me feelin' all sorts of rusty. Anyone up for a little rough-n-tumble? [ Meaning sparring. But take it as you want, especially since the look he's giving the device speaks of entirely different sort of fun. ] Y'know, of the physical sort.

[ Cas gives a subtle shake of his head, squinting as if to ask what in the world he's thinking, and then just looks away. ]

We will speak of this later.

What's wrong with speakin' about this now? Heck, perfect timin' and all considerin' where I am. [ He gestures to the training area around him. ]

[ Castiel glares back at him and then a light bulb switches on -- he and the hunter may have found themselves in some pretty unusual settings in recent history, but a training room is by far the weirdest. In any case, his anger subsides. ]

...What is that?

What do you mean what is that? Training room -- Cas, dude, are you feelin' okay? [ Look, he though you understood the joke, got over it, and then got huffy. But then - ] Wait, don't tell me you still think I'm talkin' about, uh, you know.

[ You know when someone is clearly backpedaling, defensive and also happen to be a terrible liar they start speaking just a little too quickly, can't maintain eye contact, and pausing in places where they shouldn't? ]

No, of course not. That would be... foolish.

[ Yeah, that. ]

[ Unimpressed, Cas. so unimpressed. ]

Uh-huh. So you're just bein' a dick over trainin' buddies, right. S'nice, Cas, real nice.

[ YEP, sure didn't think that through, now he's committed to something that sounds even worse than the truth... so he just falls silent and takes his embarrassment with a quick downcast of his eyes.

Eventually, he admits: ]

I... suppose I jumped to some worrisome conclusions.

Yeah, no shit, man. [ Okay, so he knows his original feed was very much aiming for this kinda confusion, but he should have known Cas wouldn't get it (come on, when does he ever?) so there's a sigh...and then a smile. ]

Gettin' a little too human there, Cas. [ How did the jealousy taste like? ]

[ That's even more worrisome, in a way. While Cas found that being human to be inconvenient, he was able to relate to Dean on a level he's found it difficult to emulate now. It sometimes leaves him feeling conflicted about it.

He sighs. ]

...That is a very troubling observation.

Nah, don't let it get to you, dude. [ He'd shoulder-push your right now if he could. Come on. ] Guess even angel's can get their wings in a twist every now and then.

[ The casual way Dean approaches this misunderstanding is too remarkable for Castiel not to notice, and it takes him a moment of studying his expression before he speaks again. ]

I suppose so. But there seem to have a few interested women who have also misunderstood your request for training.

...A misunderstanding you don't seem eager to correct.

[ CASUAL AND CASUAL...he just doesn't wanna talk about it here, over this feed.

Now why you gotta go catch him with his hand in the cookie jar, Cas? He looks..sheepish. ]

Come on, have you seen them? S'place is cute chick nation, or something. And m'just messin' 'round -- so no harm done, right?

[ Castiel doesn't seem eager to talk about it, either... but he supposes that if Dean is simply entertaining himself and nothing more, no harm is technically done.

Still, if there's no harm done, then why does he deadpan: ]

Yes, of course. You are completely blameless -- a victim to your own human urges.

[ For such an expressionless guy, Cas sure is making himself too easy to read this time. ]

Uh-huh, exactly. [ Playing along, playing along..... ] S'a complicated thing, an' all. [ He'll show you his human urges whenever they can catch a private moment, okay. ]

Clearly.

[ Cas has his moments where even that stony mien of his can't conceal when he's feeling pissy. Despite attempts to just let this slide, he just can't shake it completely away, and that only seems to make it even more frustrating. ]

[ But the attitude shifts, just enough to ease that tension: ]

Perhaps later, you can explain it to me. At the cookout.

[ ...Smirking! ]

You got it. We'll go through every detail.

[ And just so they're clear: ]

The cookout you will be hosting.

[ Because he deserves a burger for this. ]

[ ...Gosh. ]

Fine, fine. Just don't expect anything fancy.
