[She's very quick to add that. And not just because she wants her first time to actually mean something. Alastrians are extremely territorial. She certainly doesn't want to imply that she's moving in on someone else's territory. That's the kind of thing that leads to blood feuds and broken packs.
Ariadne so very desperately likes the little pack she had in Deerington.]
He didn't know you were here, in Trench. I told him, after Dean told me. I don't mean to imply that he was intentionally betraying your trust.
[ She doesn't know the man - Dean - well, but he's...twitchy. War
torn, like Jonathan was, after he came back from the war. Dean has seen
some things, that much she knows. ]

[ Ariadne seems like a rather capable woman. ]
...Did he, now.

[ Just in case that came across wrong, Evelyn isn't mad. She's married, for heavens sake.
But...still. ]
I supposed it's natural he's different. I'm different. Eight years passed for me.
no subject
[She's struggling to explain it out loud as much as she was struggling to understand it that afternoon in the orchard.]
He just doesn't seem like...Sam. He looks and smells like him. But I find it hard to believe that Sam would...
[Ariadne doesn't have the words. In any language. And she speaks them all.]
no subject
[ She gestures, not that it's visible. ]
I wonder if he's going through something. A spat with his brother?
no subject
[A family she almost felt like she was a part of. But she doesn't know how to reconcile that with her strange encounter with Sam.]
no subject
That's...strange. I saw him recently, he did seem off, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. But he felt different.
[ And she knows that likely wont make sense but it's all she has. ]
no subject
If it were just me, I'd leave it there. But if you're sensing something too..
[Clearly, she must know Sam better than Airy. If the two of them were mates or lovers or whatever term Humans are using at any given moment...]
There might be something. Who else is there to ask? Dean? That man in the smelly coat? The other Sam?
no subject
[ She is sensing something, and she isn't sure why. That's also bothering her - she can't figure it out, but something is different with her, too. ]
The smelly coat...?
[ lol wat ]
no subject
[Give her a second...]
Cas! He seems to spend a lot of time around the family.
no subject
Oh! Yes, yes. Of course.
[ He'd been quieter, less inclined to talk to many people. She'd just...given him his space, best she could. ]
Yes, I'd say Dean or Cas. They all seem like a fairly tight knit group.
no subject
Dean is...defensive. Protective of his brother.
no subject
That's probably smart.
[ She doesn't know the man - Dean - well, but he's...twitchy. War torn, like Jonathan was, after he came back from the war. Dean has seen some things, that much she knows. ]
no subject
[She doesn't really know how to do this...]

no subject
Yes, of course. I'd be happy to come with you.
no subject
[She's working up her nerve a little. It's evident in her voice.]
I'll give him a call and let you know. Um...hold on, I suppose?
no subject
Of course. Let me know what you find out.
[ Cas seems like a sweet man. Surely there's nothing to be nervous about. ]
no subject
He's agreed to speak with us. And I think he's aware that something's...wrong.
Why don't you come to my shop? I'm beside the orchard in the Willful Machine. There's a red banner hanging from the cinnamon tree.
