[ she’s finding it hard to sleep too, not that she’s ever really found it easy. dean’s check in, if that’s what he’s calling it (although at this hour she’s pretty sure he’s got other things on his mind), comes right after she’s checked where she’s hidden the picture of tara she’d been gifted by the library, and she reads it with a raised eyebrow. ]
( if he lobbed up the ball, she just spiked it. it hits the sand with a glorified thud. he's not expecting it. before faith, there were probably cobwebs down there. apparently, salt girls are easy.
the brackets apologize, this is a reference to 'earth girls,' and is only that.
but it's been a while since he's said yes to anyone coming at him like this. though, she's a little more subtle than faith. )
[ the brackets get the reference, even if she may not know it.
in truth, she'd rather have it happen like this than under the influence of something outside of her own control. he's welcome to tell her no and she thinks for a second he might, but then he responds. ]
yeah. but i think there are some tents that are empty.
( and sure enough, he's an awkward forty-one year old gentleman working out some kinks in his foreplay, but when it gets down to it, the both of them have a pretty good time. he remembers what he liked about sex, and sam is different than faith in all the right ways, so he takes his time where he can.
laying under one sheet after, dean brings one knee up, foot flat against the bed. )
You know, I never smoked, but after that. I'd probably bum one for a drag. ( He wouldn't but it's a compliment all the same. his eyes adjust to the empty tent. at least they found a bed. ) So, what's your deal. You jumped at tracking down the influencer vampire.
[ true to her word, sam finds a couple bars of chocolate and a bag of popcorn, both of which lay beside where she'd discarded her clothing. she rolls to her side once he breaks the silence that follows after, propping her head up on her hand to get a better look at him. ]
I've got them somewhere, if you're serious. [ she doesn't smoke too often, maybe a few times a week, but she still feels like making the offer. maybe partaking once he brings up her volunteering. her breath is exhaled through her nostrils, sounding almost resigned, but it's not like secrets can be kept for long in this place. he may as well know. ]
I don't like when innocent people get hurt. [ which doesn't answer his question at all, but it's a start. ] That tends to happen a lot where I'm from, it just isn't vampires who do it.
( Yes to the popcorn first, salty, then sweet, as he leans over her and decides for them both. He cracks open the bag, then shrugs. It was a line. Don't strain yourself, his shoulder seems to say, already taking a handful for himself. He overs her the open bag. )
People suck. ( He's been there, too. To this day, one of his gnarliest hunts was the Benders. The very real human family that took Sam. ) Admit it, you're Batman.
[ that earns him a short laugh before she takes a handful of the popcorn. ]
Pretty sure Batman has a no kill rule. I haven’t been able to afford to think that way. [ oddly enough, also because of a family, but it had started with a couple of movie fanatics who’d wanted to make her the villain of their movie.
well, actually it had started with her biological dad and his best friend deciding to take his mommy issues out on his girlfriend and their friends, but that’s before her time. ]
Oh yeah. You just experienced it. ( He grins. ) All human. My dad raised us in the life. Been doing it for longer than I should've been. You have hunters in your world? The supernatural?
Right. [ the rest of his sentence has her raising an eyebrow, though; who the hell hunts monsters and takes their kids into it? from the sound of it it seems like he's been doing it all his life. ]
No. Not that I've seen, anyway. Just a lot of people around me who seem to think serial killing's a fun hobby to take up.
[ her scars would have been visible before, but the one on her arm becomes a little more visible as she reaches for more popcorn. ]
[ she's not even referring to the retaliation kills, either. ]
My biological dad did kind of start the whole thing off, though, so I guess that's still a fitting comparison. [ it's been a while since she's seen that movie. ] I didn't know until years after it happened.
[ there's another scar from where a knife went much further in on her torso, below her ribcage. a tattoo sits above it, but that's something she's only gotten since arriving here. ]
Ended up? Like, he targeted you, or he got with you and then developed the weirdest obsession I've ever heard about?
( It's fitting they're sharing popcorn for this feelings session, because Dean is sat for this story. And 100% takes a handful of popcorn, popping one in his mouth at a time. Enrapt. )

They made movies based on the whole thing. My boyfriend ended up being a superfan of them and wanted to set me up as the villain of the next one.
