[Castiel is in the greenhouse.]

The demon Shendu has been smote and cast to oblivion; he won't bother this ship any longer, nor his host. I hope any sustained injuries have been taken care of. Thank you, jailor, for feeding my vessel while it hungered. And to Eddie and his associate, for freeing me from that cell. Its power was suffocating.

Does the cafeteria serve hamburgers and.. [he pauses, considering the the words] "root beer"?

[PRIVATE to the ADMIRAL]

All I know about you is your negligence and great strength, but I see no harm in requesting a number of. I can pick up a tree or bush of any size, weight or height and any place on this ship, so that won't be a concern. I suppose you'll probably ignore this. I won't be offended.

[Castiel details a lengthy list of plants that require all kinds of habitats and climates, from your classic chrysanthemum and wildflowers to venus fly traps, massive redwoods and parasitic vines. He knows all of their scientific names, of course. He's shooting for the moon here.]

[PRIVATE to ARTHAS]

You're no demon. Are you one of purgatory's children?

[PRIVATE to HOFFMAN and BUFFY]

I politely request you not banish me.

Then it'll do no harm to speculate, will it?

Why do you even care? What do you get out of it either way?

Being in your situation is how I ended up here.

You. An angel's vessel.

[Jimmy obviously thinks that pigs flying and hell freezing over or some combination is more likely.]

Not an angel.

[Decidedly not.]

So then you haven't been in my situation. So then you have no idea what I'm going through. So, then you should just let me deal with it.

[And then he loses his temper. He swings back a hand and his fist chips the cinderblock wall.]

I'm trying to make sure it doesn't happen again! The Light is no more trustworthy than the legion, nothing with a mind of its own is!

[Jimmy startles back into the cell. He stands up against the back wall before realizing this was obviously a bad choice. He should have gone the other way, but it's too late now. For a few seconds, he's waiting for Arthas to attack him. When he doesn't, the man takes a few deep breaths to try and get his pulse back to normal and rubs his breastbone, over his heart.]

We're nothing alike. And I don't know what the hell possessed a thing like you, but it wasn't an angel. Castiel's saved my family before, and he means well, and if he has to run around in my body to save the world that's what he's allowed to do. I trust him to leave when he says he's going to leave. I don't care what you think about that. You don't know a thing about me, and you know even less about him.

Thanks for the vacation. If you don't mind, I'm going back to sleep now.

[his eyes dart towards the open door.]

Fine. [he snaps.] Fine. Do whatever you want.

[He spins on his heel away from Jimmy and pulls hard enough on the door out of zero to make it bounce on its lock - but it doesn't open. Not without a warden item.

His breath hisses out between his teeth and he rests his head against it briefly as his hand drops. He's not going to turn around and watch Castiel come back, that will only make it worse.]

[It takes him a few moments to figure out, but he gets it eventually, pressing the bible - Oh, you never change, do you, angel? - against the door. it clicks open with a pop, and with another sigh and a prayer he takes a step out, staggering to the floor in a bolt of light.]

[When he stands again, the posture is familiar. he carefully keeps his warm relief sheltered away, face twisted in a scowl at Arthas. He strides down the hall and opens the door, leaving it that way. He's nowhere to be seen when the Death Knight actually exits.]
