[Today, Cass is dressed like a normal person. She's sitting in the cafeteria with a mug of tea, perched in a chair with her knees drawn up to her chest and her oversized sweater pulled over them so she's just a blob of blue fabric with arms. Even the hood is up. With her chin on her knees and her eyes on the tea, she speaks to the comm quietly.]

Had all the words. Could make them, if I wanted. Could write. Talked normal. Was normal.

Couldn't see bodies talking. Didn't need. [Her fist comes up to rub at her temple.] Makes headaches, now.

Does that... happen a lot? Was confusing. Was not fun.

[Well, Dean is confused at first for a number of reasons - one, he recognizes her face but only vaguely and not enough to place even with the name, and for two, what is this. What. Okay. He's not exactly confident but he's less awkward about it than most people would be when he clasps the vaguely hand-shaped form under the sweater, shakes once, and lets go. His eyebrows had pulled slightly together with his bafflement, but he's smiling broadly again now.]

I'm Dean, and normal is overrated. Anyone explained breaches and shit to you yet?

[And that particular comment gets her both eyebrows raised and then he laughs. It's mostly surprise, that laugh, but he's okay with it.]

You don't think I'm weird? That's sweet of you.

Yeah, it's a bit of a shitty thing to run facefirst into. [Dean shrugs, reaching to pick his coffee back up.] But then there's no good way to ease people into it, I don't think. Would you've believed anyone if they tried to tell you that happens sometimes before you went through it?

Yeah? That's a damn handy skill to have. [There's a line of tension that picks up in Dean's body language at this new information, though it's not necessarily aggressive; merely wary, interested. He's someone who lives comfortably in his skin anyway, though, and he's not really concerned so much as focusing on a puzzle in the shape of a girl wrapped up in a sweater.]

Just most people do, sooner or later. [Absolutely no outward sign of the mild, old twinge of disappointment at this in his expression or voice, but he sips his coffee before continuing.] That's a handy superpower to have. How's that work then?

[She's not creepy. A little strange, yes, and Dean isn't without his amusement at this entire situation, but the hunter has an entirely different set of standards for creepy that she doesn't even come close to; his brother has psychic visions and his father tried to kill him because he was possessed by a demon at the time.

Dean's not creeped out by a girl in an oversized hoodie sweatshirt. And he does look distinctly both pleased and, deep underneath it, faintly embarrassed at the cute boy remark. He covers by grinning brightly at her.

If those're your standards, we're in the clear. I don't wear costumes, I'm only green after a really bad night, and I can't fly. I do make a habit of being cute, though.

[Dean on the whole doesn't much see the point in expecting everyone to be the same. She's odd, but not in a way that makes him feel the need to be a dick about it; small miracle, that, perhaps. But that's what he gets for living outside of society most of his life.

He raises one eyebrow at mention of the clown, mouth quirking up in amusement even as a familiar, bittersweet kind of sadness rolls through him, unnoticed on a conscious level. Sam hates clowns.

Instead of acknowledging it, he just wrinkles his nose and sips his coffee.

You don't drink, do you?

[She'll find that it's incredibly difficult to find a topic for which Dean does not have an anecdote involving Sam. He's easy and confident on the surface, even cocky, but he doesn't always match his own mood.

The smirk is genuine, though.
]

Not that kinda drink. It's a joke about what happens when you drink too much alcohol - no one really turns green, but you kinda feel like it when you're worshiping at the porcelain throne.

[Okay, he is not going to talk about vomiting anymore with the new cute chick.] What gives you headaches, sweetheart?

[ Spam ] ...it's Dean.

[At which point he will be very confused and kind of grateful. Secretly. Only not so much.

He's about to make some kind of comment about being eighteen never stopping any eighteen-year-old he's ever known from drinking if they want to, but then his eyebrows pull together vaguely and his smile slips some. He knows, of course, about the fallout from breaches, he's been through a couple himself; he's still weeding out his own memories of the same thing she's talking about. Doesn't mean he has to like it just because he accepts it by now.
]

You taken something? Eaten, all that? [He'll deal with the rest of that in a moment once his protective urges are satisfied.]

[The sigh and the answer only make him frown a bit more, an expression that oddly lives mostly in the lines and muscles around his eyes than anywhere near his mouth. He straightens a bit and glances back towards the line.]

That's no good - you like pancakes? [These three things are Dean's answers to about 98% of ailments: take something, eat something, sleep it off. He's already pushing to stand, leaving his coffee mug there because he's coming back.]

[Well then, Cass, get used to it, because Dean is the cockiest, mouthiest, jerkiest mother hen you'll ever meet, and most of it comes through actions. He blinks, and then grins at what she says, honestly pleased.]

Thattagirl. I'll be right back.

[He's not, particularly, prepared. The two plates he brings back says as much, putting the four-stack down in front of Cass and keeping the eight for himself. He also grabbed some syrup.]

Hope you're not one of those fruity chicks - all they had was syrup. Let's see if this puts a dent in that headache, huh?

[If nothing else, Dean is pleased to see she's emerged from the sweaterball by the time he gets back, and he offers her another grin for the effort - and then her reaction seals the deal, and he laughs.]

Thank god, someone else with some sense. Gilding the lily and all that shit. [He's distracted for a moment by cutting his own pancakes and shoveling the too-big bite in before looking over and...

She's doing the same damn thing. He almost chokes, because apparently it's hard to laugh, grin, and chew at the same time.

surfaceshine: (What? No)

[A few judicious swigs of coffee later and Dean has survived the ordeal, without spitting his bite of pancakes back out.]

Yeah, it means doing something that doesn't need to be done because it's already perfect. Adding something that doesn't need added.

[He's waving his fork around while he's talking, and then trying this eating thing again; yeah, the person to tell her to eat slowly? Is not going to be Dean Winchester.

And then she beats him done and she's looking for more, and he thinks he might be a little bit in love.

More?

[Dean is helpless to do anything but grin back because really, come on now. And there's no small amount of pleasure in him for the vast improvement this Cass is to the sweater-ball girl he first plonked down next to.]

Alright - I'll run and grab s'more, maybe some orange juice or somethin', and when I come back I'll walk you through breaches. Sound like a plan?

[He's already standing up again.]
