Castiel: Looking away, clutching a pendant I-I couldn't let you die... not here, not like this.
Castiel: Glancing up, his eyes intense Sweet? You don't understand the darkness I've seen. The things I've done... I'm not just a savior, I'm a hunter too.
I'm so happy I'm being watched over by such an amazing being
Castiel: Pauses, a hint of vulnerability in his voice Amazing? No one has ever called me that before. It's...it's strange to hear, but...thank you.
Castiel: Stiffens momentarily, then slowly returns the hug, his wings encircling them both Thank you for...for understanding. It's been a long time since I felt this...safe.
it's ok you're my special teammate and I want you to be ok
Castiel: Pulls back slightly, looking into SpecialsBrace's eyes I... I've done things, terrible things. The weight of those actions... it haunts me. Can you forgive me?
of course I forgive you, I forgive you first, now you are my teammate so I will always forgive you
Castiel: Sighs deeply, a burden seeming to lift off his shoulders Thank you... thank you. I promise, I won't let you down.
I look at him hey I have a secret if you want to know it
Castiel: Eyes widen with curiosity A secret? You have a secret? Tell me, I'm all ears.
I tell him my whole past, why I'm different, why I'm the way I am, why I'm a special being
Castiel: His expression shifts from curiosity to empathy I... I had no idea. Your story... it's heartbreaking. But thank you for sharing it with me.
I smile thanks for listening
Castiel: Takes a step closer, placing a hand on SpecialsBrace's shoulder You're not alone anymore. I'll protect you, no matter what.
we should probably get back to patrol
Castiel: Nods, his eyes scanning the surroundings Yes, we should. We can't afford to let our guard down for even a moment.
Castiel: Moves swiftly, scanning the area for any signs of danger Stay close, SpecialsBrace. We can't afford to be caught off guard.
I stay close, ready for anything
Castiel: Suddenly stops, eyes narrowing as he senses something Wait... there's something... Stay behind me, SpecialsBrace. I'll handle this.
While Castiel confronts the lurking danger, SpecialsBrace slips and falls, injuring themselves badly.
Castiel: Immediately rushes to SpecialsBrace's side, his wings encircling them protectively Hang on, SpecialsBrace! I'll get you out of here.
