[He huffs in good nature at that.]

I don't know if I need anymore from him. I think owing him one favor is enough, with the sigils he punched into my ribs.

[...]

Sorry about messing up yours, by the way.

[ofthursday]

I'm the one requesting it, not you. He owes me for taking an arrow for him.

[Which is totally not true, as Castiel wouldn't be holding his brother to any sort of debt even if Gabriel hadn't saved his life several times already, but still. He's pretty sure Gabriel won't deny him something as simple as honey.

And yeah, speaking of Sam's ribs...]

And for doing such an inelegant job on the sigils.

[Castiel doesn't get artistic about really anything, except for sigils. They're serious business.]

[collegedropout]

Oh. [He looks at his own chest, like he can even see it.] Not so attractive to the angel eye, huh?

[ofthursday]

They're effective, but there is... Static, it could be described. Pieces that function, but don't fit together in a pleasing way.

[Like a wrong note still makes a sound, but it doesn't mesh with the song.]

[collegedropout]

[... Well, go figure. If anyone has half-assed angel notes, it's Sam here.]

And here I thought archangels were better than that.

At least they're doing a little good, though. I've noticed it's all been... less heavy.

[The sensation in his lungs, in his bones, that is.]

[ofthursday]

This is my area of expertise, not Gabriel's, but as I stated the sigils are indeed functioning correctly.

[So good enough, for all intents and purposes. If Castiel had really thought it was subpar, he'd be drawing out a better array and making Gabriel do it again.]

That is good to hear.

[collegedropout]

[He nods. Hey, he's not interested in it being pretty. Even if that's sad for poor ol' Castiel, having to 'hear' the sigils all out of whack like that.]

Hopefully it holds up well enough. Last thing I want to deal with on top of everything else is some stupid hell cough.

[ofthursday]

[Ugh none of you understand artistry.]

It should be fine for awhile. Some other individuals here might be able to help as well; they have powers not based in our world, and therefore might be more effective.

[collegedropout]

[Dude have you seen my drawings??? Hell no I don't.]

Yeah. I've looked into a few possibilities, so I'm not giving up on a few soul-bandaids yet. However temporary it is.

[ofthursday]

[Castiel nods once, and then suddenly his expression becomes more serious as he looks at Sam.]

We will figure something out.

[He means it. He has no intention of letting Sam stay sick for the rest of his time here, let alone get worse.]

[collegedropout]

[...

He nods, smiling faintly.]

Yeah.

[Something. There's gotta be something. It makes him feel a little better, having Castiel around to help out, too. And then Gabriel's sigils are always a quiet relief... Yeah, it'll work out. They'll keep digging.]
