[With how much Chuck loves doing video post, the fact that he's sticking to voice should be the first red flag. The choked tone in his voice is another.]

Fred- Winifred Burkle. Has anyone seen her?

Her NV's offline, she isn't answering it.

[There's a long, sunken silence.]

I think... she's gone.

I want to say she'll probably be back, but I just don't know- I haven't seen it yet. God, what's the point of seeing the future if it doesn't help?

Anyway, I just- thought everyone who knows her should know. She's out.

[By the time he answers he's well on his way to drunk, and for Cas he lets some of the defenses down.]

Return like Crowley returned or like Sam?

[What if she comes back, and doesn't remember them. What if she doesn't know him?]

[He's quiet, at that, because Chuck's right. And it's hard to answer because he had been lucky both times, in that Crowley had remembered and Sam hadn't.]

I don't know. We won't until it occurs, or doesn't.

[He slumps in his chair, thoroughly ignoring the dog nosing at him.]

I know.

Can I, uh, swing by your place after work tomorrow? My apartment is just really quiet.

Of course. However I am not certain when Crowley plans to be here as well.

[Which isn't a problem for him, but he's not so sure how well Chuck and Crowley get along at this point.]

[Shrug.]

I'll keep my shoes off of anything expensive.

That is difficult, as he seems intent on spending a great deal of money on things he places on the floor to be walked on, but alright.

[He hates Crowley's rug obsession.]

[paterelohim]

I'll take my shoes off at the door. Whatever.

[He can handle Crowley's wrath.]

Do your, uh, girls like coffee? I feel bad showing up without... anything.

They don't live at the house. You needn't bring anything.

[Crowley had expressly forbidden it. So Castiel just uses Crowley's money to pay for apartments for them.]

[Video/Private]

[paterelohim]

Oh.

[Chuck has to laugh a little at himself, and the ridiculous mental image he had of them following Cas around like a flock of geese. Of course they don't live at the house.]

Duh. What am I, senile?

[Video/Private]

[ofthursday]

Doubtful, as you are far too young.

[Reassuring, right?]

[Video/Private]

[paterelohim]

[He snorts and then starts laughing.

Congrats, Cas. You did the impossible.]

Yeah, there's always that.

[Video/Private]

[ofthursday]

[He doesn't quite get it, but he's pleased that Chuck is laughing.]

You can visit at any time.
