âitâs all become such a mess and i still donât know what to do.â heâs not ashamed to admit that, even despite their past. he didnât know whether or not to be relieved at the sight of her. she was extremely intelligent â cunning, even. but there wasnât a single one of them that had the foresight to know it would become this bad. just when he thought they were taking a step in the right direction, theyâre thrown back down to realize that itâs wrong â wrong.
    heâs weary of being wrong.Â
                       fearful of being right.
    âiâm sorry that i canât rejoice at your return.â whatâs dead should have stayed dead, including himself a long time ago. but thatâs now how fate is playing out. âand i wish our circumstances were different,â he adds after a moment of thought. it doesnât come as any surprise that metatron would be digging them up & trying to create more agitation between the angels â not to mention the target painted in bright red on his back. heâd done so with gabriel and what a fine illusion that had been. it was only due to a minor discrepancy that it had come crashing down with realization, one minute detail that hadnât been accounted for. that was his game. spinning stories, creating pawns and playing them for the fools.
     here; in this place, heâd buried yet another of their brethren [ since when had he held so much sentimentality? ] â but to his understanding, it was a way of paying respect. thus the blood mixed with dirt on his hands and beneath his nails. water wouldnât wash it away â it never had. albeit human in nature, it was better than letting anyone else come upon the gruesome scene. so was he giving respect or trying to cover his own trail?
     he didnât know anymore.
    it was corrupt either way. you drape yourself in the flag of heaven, but âŠÂ
It was strange; of all meetings between them, this one felt almost distantâ as if it should never be occurring at all. Deaths should have transpired and remained in place long ago, as both of their existences had ceased to be for reasons. They shouldn't be here now, neither of them should be here. And yet here they stood, each seemingly gazing at the other with doubts in the area where their vessel's hearts laid beating. Or at least, it's what she felt; a sense of reluctance. When a betrayal occurs after lifetimes of loyalty, one starts answering questions with more questions.
'And i still donât know what to do'
The truth was, neither did she. Any attempts she'd made to fight for what Heaven once represented, for humanity; the beings she'd come to love and envyâ had resulted in her death. Her intended executions of these plans were questionable, yes; but they would have succeeded. But now? There seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel, perhaps this was the inevitable; the proof of how flawed they really were. But it was in their essence to not give up; they were warriors of God, no matter how grim reality would become.
"I didn't really expect you to." It was the truth; and though not even she expected it, a meager sense of bitterness rested in her tone; It was saddening. But if she bore one flaw; it would always be the fact she'd look past betrayal and give her aid to those who'd had it before; which is what caused her to seek out his side, despite the dreaded scene and reality before him.
And she found her rightful place there, as if nothing had ever changed. Because in a way, nothing had. Where they'd fought side by side in the past, they'd continue fighting in the same manner nowâ same foxhole, loyalty is rewarded with loyalty, "I don't know what to do anymore either," Dainty tips of digits found their way to his sleeve, slowly and carefully latching onto the fabric without hesitation;, "âbut whatever it is, I'll help you, Cas." If he'd choose to believe her however, was a different matter. But her intentions were true; as they, in some way, had always been.
