eighteen; life is not dandy

Kallen, I... Are you alright? You left in such a hurry that I... Did I do something wrong?

Raphael's demeanor has improved a bit. I think it has to do with the fact that I've so far protected him from Anna. I don't know what that says about me, of course, protecting Castiel's killer from what sounds like the only woman he ever cared about... I still don't think I should take him home as he is; it's taken him long enough to adjust to my office and my chambers; I don't think a kitten his age should be moved around quite so much.

As for Anna, she seems very restless lately. I've been sending her out on a lot of miscellaneous errands to get her out of my office, but insofar it hasn't worked much. She's always squawking at Raphael (when she isn't trying to attack him) and quite honestly, it's starting to worry me. And since sending her to the Owlry isn't an option, well...

Is anyone good with pets? Spencer's busy, and not many people are left in the castle, so... Castiel? You named them, right? Would it be too soon to ask for your assistance?

[Nods, even if Thobari can't see.]

Anna may need... space. Do not be afraid to let her go, for she may come back. I am pleased Raphael has settled.

That sounds like a good idea. Ever since I got her, Anna had been spending far too much time in my office. She used to spend it simply watching me, but it's probably time I let her cut loose.

Raphael is still a bit bite-y, but he's stopped hissing at me, and won't leave me alone when I'm around. I think that's a good sign?

I believe it may be.

There is something else I must tell you, Thobari.

Uhm, okay. What is it? [ Wow, Cas must be in a good mood, he's actually initiating conversation. ]

Professor Bainbridge, while in possession of a physical body, managed to lessen my bonds.

Professor Bainbridge... the Ancient Runes professor? ...oh! That's right, he's a ghost as well... Explains why I haven't met him personally.

That's wonderful news, Castiel! And after so long! Does this mean you can exist off school grounds? How far? [ Excited for you, Thobari is IT. ]

Yes, and for a while, he was in Kate Beckett's body. She was less than pleased with the turn of events, but I can travel to the outskirts of Hogsmeade.

Oh. I didn't know ghosts could be affected by the bodyswap jinx as well...

In any case, that's great! Wow, it must be exciting for you; you haven't been to Hogsmeade in over a century!

Longer than a century, and it is.

I'm glad you're able to enjoy this opportunity.

If you ever... need someone to show you around, I'd be happy to. [ BECAUSE TOBI DOESN'T REALLY REALIZE HOW MANY WEIRD LOOKS HE'D GET FOR HANGING OUT WITH A GHOST. ]

[ Cas isn't really the 'beat around the bush type, so... Thobari easily got that. ]

Maybe I should just talk to Spencer first.

[itscalled-faith.livejournal.com]

Perhaps... and thank you, once again.

[And Cas is goneeeeeeeeee byebyebye.]
