Nothing to do with demons, luv. [ he nods his head at the little statuette ] Just a little pagan worship, that's all.

[huntersdaughter]

Worship? Did you expect an answer from someone?

[rituals]

Divine inspiration.

[huntersdaughter]

Okay. [She may or may not believe him.]

Do you usually get that from all of that?

[rituals]

Depends on who feels like answering.

[huntersdaughter]

[She decides to fess up to her charade, mostly because she's curious.]

I -- I don't live downstairs and you probably don't want me in your place, but see now I've been in it and I see this stuff and I kinda want to know how you're expecting it to work.

[rituals]

[ lmao maybe he should be mad about it idk but instead he just looks her over with mild interest ] Maybe you want to tell me who you are first.

[huntersdaughter]

Jo. [She offers him that, wondering if it'll suffice.]

I followed you from the pizza shop. My order is going to be cold, but -- I can just make a new one. [She'll tell them to give her cold pizza to the homeless? Eh, whatever.] I've had a bit of experience with weird symbols, so I decided to take a risk. [She smiles. See how cute she is? (cha 16) Maybe?]

[rituals]

[ his eyes wander up and down her for a moment, because, well. she is pretty cute, ok. ] Not with symbols like these, I bet.

Some of it's arcane. Some of it's... Ancient Greek.

[huntersdaughter]

[She ignores the once over and focuses more on the symbols.]

And you just know about these things?

[rituals]

Doesn't come built in, no.

[huntersdaughter]

[This is definitely not the path she had planned on taking today. She could just excuse herself, but there's part of her that guesses if he was put off by her questions he would've shut her down. She glances back to him.]

Do people follow you around enough that you're just used to it or was I that bad at following you that you let me?

[rituals]

Most women don't just follow strange men into their apartments and ask casual questions about their dark rituals. Maybe you weren't the only one curious.

[huntersdaughter]

I'm not going to make any cliche statements. [The easy reply of "I'm not like most women." is dumb. She refuses to compare herself to other women - even in a cliche.]

Also, I did wait a few minutes to see if you weren't doing anything weird. I didn't realize Greek and the arcana mixed. [She takes a step closer, trying to actually look at it.]

[rituals]

I wouldn't touch that if I were you. [ he doesn't, however, move to interfere ] And there's a lot more crossover between the arcane and the divine than most people think.

Especially when the divine aren't entirely.

[huntersdaughter]

[Her hands lift up, offering him some sense that she's not planning on touching with her hands. She just looks at it (spot 14) with curiosity.]

I don't know many divine. I knew an angel. I know a few guys that don't seem to die, but they're just idiots. [Mostly.]

[rituals]

[ there's not much to make out on it, honestly - it's rather crudely cut. ] Knew an angel? Which one was that?

[huntersdaughter]

[She gives up her scrutiny and stands up to face him. He's better to look at anyway.]

Castiel. Not the most social guy. Angel. Whatever.

[rituals]

Castiel? [ the name is spoken with a bit of familiarity, actually ] Bugger stole my look.

[huntersdaughter]

[Jo smirks at the remark, not letting it actually sink in for a bit before she frowns in confusion.]

You know him?

[rituals]

Knew. You hadn't heard, then.

[huntersdaughter]

Heard? [Now she is definitely frowning. She knows that it's not her Castiel. That the world is different. That she's already died here - at least that's the impression she got from her talk with Dean.]

I haven't heard.

[rituals]

Sounds like you've got the Sight, at least. I imagine that means you've gotten a visit from Iscariot at some point? They do like to hunt our kind down and try to hire us on.

[huntersdaughter]

[Nothing he says is making any sense. She doesn't have the sight and she hasn't met Iscariot. The phrasing "our kind" lodges in her mind and she can't make sense of it.]

No, nothing like that has happened. Why would they hunt people?

[rituals]

Because they'd rather we were working for them, than against their lot. People who can see the Hidden World tend to have one side or another always jockeying for their loyalty.

Makes me wonder where yours lies, love.
