Well, apparently there his version of vicious guard dogs. There was one shaped like an elephant that tried to charge us.

[While she is all for creative security - seriously?!]

[bittersweeter]

[ another "ew nature" face. ]

Rude. Not seeing how the grappling hook ties into the story.

[allmydreams]

Well, they're obviously not very easy to shoot, given that they're made of plants and all. So I thought what better way to stop a charging elephant than to trip it.

[bittersweeter]

Fire. Fire would be better. But I guess tripping is smart. Did it work?

[allmydreams]

In terms of doing damage? No. But it did get it to stop long enough for Alainn to do a dispel magic spell.

[bittersweeter]

I'll give you a B- on the grappling hook usage in that case.

[Yeah, no one wants to see Sam Winchester act ever. Though he's probably like Sophie Devereaux who can con the shit out of people in various accents but putting her on the stage is nothing anyone wants to see ever.]

Definitely. You never know.

[a beat as she changes the subject from Sam's terrible acting skills.]

So if you're a research fan, I'm guessing Hoard?

[familybusiness]

[Eventually. Accents haven't been something he's ever really needed to deal with before.]

Yeah, that's right. I'm kind of a bookworm.

[allmydreams]

Not a bad thing. What's your ... area of study?

[familybusiness]

Mostly arcane lore, though I'm also pretty familiar with theology and law as well.

[He dabbles, basically.]

[allmydreams]

[She figured multiple fields of study were a given.]

That arcane lore is probably going to come in pretty handy around here.

[familybusiness]

Yeah, definitely. It's just tough because I've had to relearn everything since I came across the Veil. All the lore is similar, but not everything is the same. I wouldn't want to get my wires crossed in the middle of a fight.

[She nods and then her face brightens a bit.]

Oh! Gus taught me this trick with really shitty alcohol.

[She pours them both a shot before holding up the glass.]

Take the shot but hold it on your tongue for as long as you possibly can. It'll numb your taste buds and then the rest of them you won't be able to taste.

[reallywicked]

That beautiful gay bastard. That's actually really smart. Don't ever tell him I said that.

[she takes her shot glass.]

Cheers.

[And here they go.]

[allmydreams]

[And they spend the rest of the evening getting pleasantly wasted, as well they should. /scene]

[She nods in agreement, placing the fabric back on the bed before turning to face him again.]

I still haven't sold my place in New York. I know I probably should, since I'm likely never going to need it, but it's a good investment, you know?

[She sublets it to friends when they need it so it's not completely empty all the time, but it's still part of her identity that she's not entirely ready to let go of yet.]

Sometimes you just need that ... place that's yours.

[bluffcheck]

And maybe an escape route as well? [He says with a little smile. He knows that part of it for him is that at least.]

Seems we have a fair amount in common. I'll admit, it's been quite awhile since I've had that luxury.

[allmydreams]

[Her eyebrows go up at that. Maybe it is. But she always did like having a back up plan.]

It isn't such a bad thing. I've found it makes for good friends.

[bluffcheck]

[He steps closer, invading her personal space- not that they have much use for such things most of the time. Carefully, he reaches out to brush a piece of her hair away from her face.]

And what if I told you that I wasn't much in the market for a friend?

[Not that he really knows what he wants. But it's just a question, and one he's curious to know the answer to.]

[allmydreams]

[Her head tips towards the brush of his fingers, considering his face for a moment. She can't say that what he's looking for is negative, otherwise she doesn't think he'd be employing this much proximity, but she isn't really sure how she feels either.]

I know that I'm a very good friend. I haven't really had a lot of opportunities for ... more than that.

[Not to say she hasn't - she has. But she usually winds up lying to them and that doesn't always settle well.]

Eating deep dish without a fork is next to impossible. It's like pie, depending what you put on it, the crust could just fall apart in your hands.

[She holds up her hands.]

Not that I have anything against pie. Pie is delicious. But I don't want tomato sauce all over me any more than I do apple spice filling.

[likedillinger]

You just fold it. Like a delicious pizza taco.

[allmydreams]

You can do that with New York pizza too - but the benefit is that the sauce doesn't go spilling everywhere.

[likedillinger]

Hey, getting sauce everywhere is a badge of honor.

[allmydreams]

Really? Then I think I'll have to forgo my honor in hopes of preserving my clothes.
