[breadmuffs]

Fine then.

We fought you in Cognuza.
You died.

[truthisvicious]

[There's no immediate response. Then:]

Well.
It was always a possibility.

[The nice thing about texting is it's hard to tell whether or not there's an existential crisis happening on the other end.]

[breadmuffs]

[That's...not the reaction Caleb expected.]

Yes.
So perhaps it's better for you here.

[truthisvicious]

Would you say that to anyone else?
You didn't arrive here with a bloody line down your throat, did you?

If I die then I'll fucking die on my terms.

[breadmuffs]

I might, depending on their circumstances.

[He's honestly not lying...though of course Lucien has a point about the mark and what it means. It's easier for Caleb to say and maybe if he did have a mark he wouldn't.

Maybe.]

[truthisvicious]

Aren't you the picture of honesty.

[breadmuffs]

You think I'm lying?

[truthisvicious]

No, I'm making a snide comment regarding "depending on their circumstances"

[breadmuffs]

I see.

Well. In any event.

[truthisvicious]

I hope you're not waiting for me to thank you.

[breadmuffs]

I'm not.

[...Actually, though, he doesn't know how exactly to end this conversation. Saying anything polite would really seem...impolite.

So. He doesn't say anything else at all.]

[pathologise]

are you free tomorrow?
for something at the arcane sanctuary
i know it's been a while since you mentioned it

[breadmuffs]

Yes, of course.
I'm more or less free whenever. I do have to do a bit of work, but not at any particular time. When would you like to meet?

[pathologise]

just after lunch?
i could bring you something to say thanks

[breadmuffs]

After lunch sounds fine to me.
And that's very kind of you.

[pathologise]

over here!!

[breadmuffs]

(from here)

Why didn't you practice more at home?
If you don't mind my asking.

[pathologise]

busy life?
it was more just a 'doodle when i felt like it' and not actually trying to do anything with it

[breadmuffs]

I suppose that's fair enough.
Are you trying to do anything with it now?

[pathologise]

just passing the time i guess
it's relaxing

Hey, this is Castiel — one of the two. I was trying to get in contact with Anael, but she doesn't seem to be responding. You're her contract partner, right? Is she okay?

[breadmuffs]

I'm her contract partner, yes.
Unfortunately, she is in one of those inexplicable comas at the moment. She has been for a while, actually.

I'm sorry I didn't reach out to any of her friends but honestly I realized I do not know who she is close to. It's something that I'll correct when she wakes up.

[If she wakes up...but she will. He has to believe she will.]

If you would like to come look in on her, you are more than welcome to.

[depressant]

fuck, her too?

[ well, this month is really going great. he gets the one thing he wants most and everything else goes all to hell. typical. ]

it's fine. i don't really know who her friends are either. i'm her brother.

i'll try to come by if i get the chance. sorry. the other castiel is in a coma too, and there's no one to look after him but me. i'm trying to stick close.

[breadmuffs]

Oh, yes. She did mention having a brother here.

[She was talking about the other Castiel, technically, but it's not like Caleb knows that. Also technically.....same brother....]

And I'm very sorry to hear that.
Don't worry if you're not able to make it. I promise that I am taking care of her (as much as it is possible to do so in this circumstance anyway).
