Scheming and Socializing at Ravenclaw Bar ((SPN crew, and see note))

((This one's open to pretty much anyone, but Yukimura and Lee are particularly invited to come around before or after Bobby and the boys show up.))

---

Castiel had finally gotten around to investigating the bar in Ravenclaw tower, and found the place to his liking. He could sit quietly and watch people come and go if he wanted to, socialize if he liked (which he hadn't yet ventured to do, but he was working up to it,) and he could drink as much as he wanted of whatever he liked.

He'd been trying not to abuse the privilege. Getting roaring drunk, he'd been assured, did little to improve his disposition. Though Dean had made some puzzling allusions to marijuana that frankly stumped him, as he hadn't tried the stuff. Yet.

This afternoon, though, he was here for a purpose, waiting for Bobby to arrive so that they could set in motion their plan to exact retribution upon the Winchester boys for the events their prank war had set in motion the night of the Yule party.

Practical jokes were still unfamiliar territory to the angel. But he was cautiously optimistic that the plan was both appropriate and effective; Bobby had devised the spells, and he had thought of the delivery system.

Whether it would be funny, on the other hand...well, that he really wasn't qualified to judge. He was fairly sure, though, that Dean and Sam would not be laughing.

"And you accuse me of the puppy dog look?" Sam muttered at his brother. He got to his feet, very very carefully. "Right. I smell like beer and not in a good way. I'm going back to my room to change and hopefully sit very still until this wears off. Maybe take a few dozen aspirin while I'm at it."

He smirked down at Dean, "Need me to carry you anywhere shorty?"

Castiel gave Dean an exasperated look. "Have you ever actually read a book?...Sam, I'm not sure that would be a good idea..."

((Seems like we're done, so I'm gonna alter the ending here. Bobby had one last thing to say))

Sam gave the angel a puzzled look before it occured to him. "Right. Stairs. Yeah, that's probably a bad idea." He looked back at the chair, a little uncertain. "Well I can't just stand here for the next.. how long is this gonna last?"

The older hunter shook his head, "Come on, kid. I'll make sure you get back in one piece." It had been his intent to shadow Sam in the first place to make sure he didn't run into any real trouble.

Bobby waited until both brothers were near the door before turning back to Castiel. "Thanks, Cas. For takin care of the boys.. our boys," He drained his beer and considered the bottle for a moment. Some days he really hated feeling old.

"And for listening to an old man ramble."

Cas watched the brothers go with a slightly concerned frown. He didn't feel as if he was taking particularly good care of them at the moment, but maybe Bobby had the right of it, and he was simply worrying too much. They couldn't die here, and anything that did happen was fixable.

Glancing up at Bobby, though, the answer to both the man's points came easily.

"We're family."
