[That prospect is...so alarming. Also sounds like it sucked for her.] ...what did it feel like?

[dreamvour]

That I wasn't in control. And that's frightening, because I have to be so I don't become a danger.

[angelofthevored]

Has it happened before? [Goes right for those personal questions like he doesn't know he's not supposed to. At least his voice is heavy with sympathy.]

[dreamvour]

[she doesn't mind; in fact, she likes that he's straight-forward. Still, it's a difficult topic for her. A side of her she absolutely loathes]

Not in many, many years. I've taken steps both back home and here to make sure it won't happen.

Even so . . . if I stay hungry for too long, I end up eating more than just someone's nightmares. I'll eat their dreams, their hopes, their ambitions - everything that makes them human, and all that remains is an empty shell. [she breathes out] It's a horrible fate. But it's part of my story, so I can't completely escape it.

[angelofthevored]

I see. [That sounds sucky. Actually that sounds a lot like the monsters Dean and Sam have to deal with back home, the ones that don't want to be monsters anymore. As reluctant as Cas is to admit it, that kinda sounds like Benny.] ...if it brings you any comfort, should that happen to you here, I will stop you. [He'll burn you out as quickly and painlessly as possible.]

[dreamvour]

Thank you. [there's genuine gratitude in her voice. While it's unlikely to happen, it's still a worry, so deeply ingrained that were she capable of sleeping, she'd have nightmares about it] Please don't hesitate.

[angelofthevored]

I wouldn't. [Yeah he gets it. There's comfort to be found in having someone around who will prevent you from becoming what you despise.] In a place like this, where it seems like manipulation on that level isn't just possible but more or less commonplace, I can understand the necessity of safeguards.

[dreamvour]

[she blows out a puff of air, nodding] I appreciate your understanding. It's unlikely that it'll happen, but - I like being safe. It makes it a little easier, to have something to depend upon when this place is as unpredictable as it is.

[angelofthevored]

[Castiel's about to say something else, but then everyone around them breaks into applause and start to get up from their seats.] It seems they're finished.

I distracted you.

[dreamvour]

—oh, so they are.

[she shakes her head] I didn't mind being distracted. And there'll be other shows. Don't worry about it.

[angelofthevored]

Alright. [It was nice, though. Kind of felt a little like watching the Earth with one of his siblings again, back before shit got real.] I'm very glad to have met you, Baku.

[dreamvour]

I'm glad, too. It isn't often I get to meet someone like-minded. [because all her friends are human, mostly]
