[ dean doesn't look happy when the feed turns on. unlike before, that hint of smugness isn't present either, as it's all down to business seriousness today. he looks tired, a little ruffled you could say-- like someone who hasn't really seen any rest.

and it holds true enough, too. there's no time for resting when you're searching, worrying. ]

There isn't a day on this ship when somebody ain't missing, is there? [ despite the conversational words, his voice lacks anything inviting. he has his favorite gun in his hands, is reloading it with a new magazine, and tossing it into a small bag filled with a few things.

looks like he's going somewhere, and it won't be just a quick trip either. ]

If anyone sees Jo Harvelle, keep her safe and lem'me know. Starting to look like she's been missin' for a few days now… [ he cocks the gun experimentally before flipping the safety back on and tucking it away. ] …which means it's time for a little search and rescue.

SEC, I guess this means I'm taken' a few days off from patrollin' and whatever.

[ a hint in his tone suggests that if that's a problem, keep it to yourself. ]

I'll be back before the jump with her.

[ or he'll try to be. if he isn't… well, that'll be the end of yet another winchester. ]

He came here straight from Purgatory.

[ that's really all... in the grand spiel of cas telling dean all the shit he'd pulled, he hadn't really mentioned what had happened past purgatory. ]

So-- you're sayin' he's dead?

Maybe. I mean, don't get me wrong mate -- The angel's tougher than he looks and can hold his own in a fight. 'Course, those Leviathan sure had it in for him and with him glowin' like a beacon...

[ Yeah, so... maybe, but not likely. That said -- ]

The way I see it, this ship is the only thing bringin' the two of you back together again. Hard to see you passing that kind of opportunity up.

[ dean's quiet for a beat, but despite how benny's words lessen his anger at castiel over everything lately, he still only ends up shrugging. ]

Opportunity? All I wanna do is go back home, I know the Cas there, he ain't the same-- mess this one is.

[ Benny snorts. ]

No wonder you two ain't gettin' along. With friends like you, brother... who needs enemies?

[ glare. ]

I'm just dishin' out what he deserves.

And what's he done that's got your britches in a twist?

[ dean finally catches him, and ends up shaking his head. ]

S'none of your business. And this ain't about Cas anyway. I have to go find Jo.

[ That amusement goes away the moment Dean shows he isn't following the vamp's logic here. ]

It is when that angel can help you find Jo! You ain't the only one invested in that girl's well-bein'!

[ ugh-- ]

I'm not involvin' him, okay? I'm gonna find Jo, and I'm gonna do so faster than I would with that douchebag messin' everything up along the way.

[ As much as the vamp can't stand the angel and the stick up his ass half the time, the other half they make a halfway decent team. Too bad the glue that kept their trio together isn't cooperating... which means this could get interesting. ]

Have it your way, mate. But if you ask me, you're doin' that girl no favors. What's she to you anyway? Thought you didn't care for your own kind... meanin' other hunters.

[ it doesn't really matter now, anyway. cas is off looking for jo on his own and dean's on his way to losing possibly two friends. still, he only sighs, angry and frustrated. ]

Really ain't any of your goddamn business, but you thought wrong. She's a friend. [ a dead friend, but a friend none the less. ]

Woah, back up a minute. [ Benny lifts his hands in that stop-the-music kind of gesture. ] You have friends?

[ B( ]

Yeah. Gotta be a fuckin' foreign concept for a blood sucking freak like you.

[ chill yo tits dean jesus. ]

Well, I don't know about that, brother...

[ Benny leans forward with a smile that's just a bit smug. He'll get around to finding that angel and joining in the search for the missing hunter, but not before ruffling Dean's feathers first. ]

After all... Jo and I seem to get along just fine.

[ ..........he's gonna find you and cut your head off. ]

I don't know what kinda shit you're tryin' to pull with her or why she's buyin' any of it, but you ain't going anywhere near her again.
