Raven's IC contact (Adstringendum)

Hi. This is Raven.

If you've really got something important to say, just drop your message here.

If not... please avoid wasting both your time and mine. Beep!

Appreciated, though I'm not not certain of my Father's motives.

[But that people care he's alive is nice, even if he's pretty sure his Father is just playing with him now.

He doesn't pick up his own tea just yet, though he does consider it briefly before looking up at her question.]

I am married.

[And excuse her while she's choking on her tea.] You're... married? [Angel can marry?]

Well, um, congratulations are in order then, I guess. I don't suppose I know your wife, right?

[He watches her reaction with a mix of concern and faint amusement, but shakes his head at the question.]

You don't. Her name is Daphne.

[And then, seemingly as though he's just remembered, he pulls a wallet from a pocket. It's such an oddly human thing, but he's gotten so used to it, and he pulls out a small picture to hand to Raven.]

Daphne. [Raven takes the picture and looks at it for a moment before handing it back to Castiel.] She looks like a very sweet person. How did you two meet?

[He takes it back, putting it away with an intense pang of sadness as he remembers it's the last he'll see of Daphne, but he shifts his attention to Raven's question.]

I was... I didn't remember anything. She found me by the river, after I was returned.

[When she senses that pang of sadness, Raven instinctively cups his cheek in her palm.] You alright?

You suffered from amnesia? So she found you and took you back to her place? Smart one.

I'm fine. [It's a lie, and he doesn't expect her to believe it, but it's more an indicator he doesn't want to talk about it than meant to be deceptive.]

Yes, essentially. I dislike hospitals and didn't want to go to one, so she brought me to her home instead. I didn't want to remember what had happened, but I didn't know why.

[It had been strange. Some part of him had been curious, just a little, but there had been the heavy sense of dread that warned him he wouldn't like what he found out. His new little life, quiet and peaceful with a home and a wife and being able to help people was all he'd needed and really wanted.]

If you say so. [Her usual way to say she knows it's a lie but she won't pry. And she pulled her hand away. Some part of her is afraid her friend is shutting her off. But another part of her reminds her he's come to see her and it soothes her a bit.]

I know how much you dislike hospitals and clinics, yes. And I think I can guess why you didn't want to remember your angel life.

...So how was it? Your new human life?

[It's not just Raven; he can't tell anyone about this, or about his plans to do it here. He'll be stopped, and he can't afford that.]

It was quiet. Peaceful. When we discovered I had the ability to heal, I began to do so for those who needed it; it was believed to a miracle of God. A woman whose cancer I healed said that I must've been an angel.

[He'd taken the compliment at the time, but never gave the slightest consideration it might've been true.]

Yeah. Humans tend to say that when you do something good and they can't explain it.

[Raven's even been called an angel once. Raven. People really said weird things sometimes.]

How long did this last?

So it seems. It makes sense, I suppose.

[Aw, Raven.]

For several months, until demons came to our home while I was away. When I returned, the demons had been killed; Dean had arrived, in search of the healer he'd heard to live there.

Dean, huh?

How did Daphne react?

He rescued her from demons, so she was fond of him almost immediately. She is somewhat easy-going.

[She'd kind of accepted and brushed off the existence of demons in about five seconds.]

Or so it seems. Exactly the kind of wife you need, huh?

I guess she wasn't even that surprised to find out you actually were an angel.

Yes.

[He says it with faint humor, because it's true, but he shakes his head at her next comment.]

She doesn't know. I didn't know, so I didn't tell her; I regained my memory less than an hour before arriving here again, while I was with Dean.

Less than an hour before coming here? ...Well that could have been really awkward.
