I don't understand how humans survive.

[He leans forward on his elbows, gravely serious]

You can tell how old a horse is by its teeth. When people still got around by enslaving animals, that was useful to know.

Say Farmer Joe got you a horse and you didn't know how long it had before it was likely to die, so you take a peek under the hood--so to speak. Well that makes you an ingrate.

And that's the meaning of the phrase. Just be grateful for what you're given, and so on.

Me? I'd rather have my cake and eat it, too.

Human social interaction is needlessly complicated.

Oh, once you break it down it's not hard to understand. It's so easy a serpent can do it.

[He winks at him, and reaches out to touch the mug and see how warm it still is.]

Even broken down, much of human interaction seems to be guesswork in how the other might respond, and tailoring your actions accordingly.

It's guesswork, but people are predictable once you figure out their motivations. How far they can be pushed.

Until they react in a way that is unexpected.

I've never met one of those.

[A pause]

Well, Xerxes was unexpected for a time.

Perhaps you have not. However your ability in this area is greater than most.

thelightbringer: (but you will say it)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
I could teach you.

[Although he can't teach him a natural talent, he can explain the logic behind it. Although he finds that he rather enjoys watching Castiel learn it on his own.]

I have attempted to learn.

In a perfect world that you could write yourself, how would everyone interact, Castiel? What, exactly would you change about all these crazy relationships?

What is meant would be what is said, rather than redirection or what is seemingly code for something else entirely.

thelightbringer: (are you stupid)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
You don't always mean what you say, brother.

[You're the liar angel, remember?]

I'm well aware.



But I do such only when necessary.

Date: 2012-01-01 03:59 am (UTC)
thelightbringer: (oh yes?)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
It's never necessary. 'Convenient', I can buy.

From: [identity profile] wingsandwill.livejournal.com


Convenience is not a factor in my decisions, Lucifer, or I would still be a footsoldier in Heaven.

Date: 2012-01-02 02:28 am (UTC)
thelightbringer: (huh)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[In return, Lucifer smiles, straightening a little and gesturing]

Good point. ...Do you want to know something, Castiel? I think you're the only other angel I can respect. I still think you're misguided about humans, of course, but... [a shrug, as if to say 'we can't ALL be perfect']

From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[He notes Castiel's reaction, and feels something between amusement and regret over it. Castiel still expects him to lash out every time he speaks against Lucifer.]

Because you're not some blind soldier. You aren't goosestepping along to the tune of My Daddy Still Loves Me.

You risked everything for what you genuinely believed in. I respect that. I worried after...well, He made an example of me. I'm glad that you didn't buy into it.

If something is worth believing in, it is worth the risk of fighting for it as well.

Date: 2012-01-02 05:12 am (UTC)
thelightbringer: ([n] hmmm)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
But you've seen how few beings believe that. Fear paralyzes even our brothers.

[he's quiet a moment, thinking.]

But what exactly do you believe in?

Date: 2012-01-04 12:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wingsandwill.livejournal.com
I'm aware.



Do you know what Dean called us? The group of myself, Dean, and Sam?

Date: 2012-01-04 05:38 am (UTC)
thelightbringer: ([n] uh huh)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[Lucifer shakes his head slightly, though he has a few ideas, a few teasing suggestions. But he genuinely wants to know, so he just listens, raptly attentive and silent.]

Team Free Will. We were, and are, fighting for allowing ourselves and others the chance to make our own decisions.

The right to do so is what I believe in.

Date: 2012-01-04 07:22 am (UTC)
thelightbringer: (think twice)
From: [personal profile] thelightbringer
[There's a flicker of something in his expression, something quiet and very far from anger. It's not the answer he expected, and a year ago he would have scoffed at it.]

Free Will is the only thing worth dying for. [He genuinely believes that. He has suffered torture for that belief.]

Without it, we have no family, no individuality. Nothing else matters if you can't choose it.
