[And of course now Rose has the image of Cassie arriving here naked. That was so not where she expected her brain to go and she shakes her head, turning the key in the ignition and reaching straight for the dial on the radio. Driver picks the music okay and when you’re dating Dean Winchester... that means you enjoy these rare moments when you get to have them.]
You remember your life pre-veil? [Not that it was unheard of but the surprise that touches Rose’s features might suggest she wasn’t so lucky. Or, unlucky... depending on how you looked at things.
Even if the road had most of her focus, she doesn’t miss the eagle trinket but on the off chance it might hold some sentimental value. She keeps her questions to herself, pretending like she hadn’t caught that look in her eyes either. People who had things they didn’t want to talk about? Had a knack for picking that up in others so at least Cassie had a suitable car companion in Rose.]
The food is good. [Picking up the threads of the easier topics to begin with.] The beds are better. The Castle is... well it’s a Castle. They don’t cheap out on the décor and the people... [There’s a tightness that appears around her eyes, the words not coming easily at first but her expression changes. A smile softening her features.] It takes all kinds to fill out the ranks but you’ll find your feet sooner or later and with that, the good ones.
[It had take Rose longer than most to find hers and things had needed to get pretty bad before she got there and yet now? She wouldn’t trade any of it because of how things had turned out. Just... don’t ask her to openly talk about it.]
The people trying to kill you thing is still a problem but you’ll have back up and some downtime in between. [Grinning wryly.] Pritkin and Mircea. [Glancing at Cassie.] People from home?
<3 hush I maybe did it back...
