[ 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. ]

Please don't leave me.

[ oh sera, don't. ]

Trust me, don't wanna, but I have to.

[Taylor knows full well when Dean won't be persuaded from something, so she won't try. At least he's given some warning this time.]

Come to SEC first.

What happens if you don't come back?

[ he's a little wary... ]

This better not be some mandatory paperwork type of thing.

I will come back, Seraphim. With Jo. Even if only 'cause I owe her that.

She isn't nearby.

[because the moment he saw this message, he went off to check. so that can only mean she's in the unexplored areas of the ship]

You have to be careful.

You have to come back, you have to. I don't want to be alone.

I figured. Guess this means it's time to dive into the deep end of the pool.

[ because nothing can ever be easy, can it? ]

[ he smile a little, more for her than anything. ]

Hey now, you're not alone. Plus, it'll be damn hard for this ship to get rid of me anyway, I'll fight it if it tries anything, okay? So don't worry.

I want to come with you.

[it's a request, for once. he knows he isn't in a position to push anything these days]

I am.

You'll ask for help, won't you?

Yeah because we're got 'being an idiot + doing the one thing we always tell people not to do' paperwork.

[Just cause she wasn't trying to stop him didn't mean she had to agree with it.]

Have you got anything of hers that could be used for scent?

I don't know, Cas... [ having cas by his side out there would be useful, really so. but at the same time, he doesn't quite know if he trusts the angel to have his back, not yet. they might be somewhat civil towards each other now, of nothing else, but this is important to him, he needs to find her and for someone to be as serious about this as he is. ]

You're needed here.

I won't fight anyone if they wanna come with.

[ pause. ]

Cas said he wants to help, but... I think you two need to talk before that. [ like he did. which is also why he doesn't want the angel with him in case he doesn't come back. cas, despite all his stupidity and flaws, will at least look after her. ]

He doesn't want to talk to me-

Did he talk to you?

sounds like something you could work on making real while resting.

[ pointed look is very fucking pointed even through text. ]

I think I can come up with something
what're you thinking about?

[ a nod. ]

It was what it was, but just-- better than never tradin' another word, right? You two, I mean.

I don't want him to tell me to leave him alone.

If it really comes down to that, just tell him he'll have to deal with me if he pulls that crap.

No, I'm not.

[not when he hasn't been back to security in weeks. not when the number of people he's watching over has decreased so dramatically.]

Jo is my friend, Dean. I should have been watching over her.

Promise me you'll be safe.

[Change the subject, just a little.]

I should've too, and look where that still got us.

[ he can play the blame game forever, and mostly because jo's on him. there's no persuading him otherwise on that.

a sigh follows, a little rough before he speaks up again. ]

Look, the last thing I need is to lose two people from our corner of the universe, okay? You're staying. [ jo's potential disappearance sucks enough already. ]

Sure, if you do the same and stay outta trouble.

I'm not leaving.

I don't have anywhere to go.
