Tolly nodded, jogging over to the remedies section and grabbing the ingredients. He found a stash of bags right below the checkout counter and packed them up, handing the bag over to the customer. "Have a nice day!"

Cas waved to the customer "get well soon!" He called as they headed out. They waved back and headed out

"What was wrong with them? Like… why were they buying all those healing herbs?" Tolly asked, watching them walk down the road outside the shop.

"they were throwing up and experiencing hot flashes." He explained "I'm not really sure what it was but I just gave them what I thought would relieve the symptoms."

"You know how to give people herbs as medicine?" He asked, looking at Cas with interest. "That's so cool!"

"yes but not the drug kind like canibis. More of the healing and actually helping helping kind." He clarified with a smile

Tolly shot him a confused frown. "I didn't think you were a drug dealer or anything, Hon. I just wanted you to know that I think what you do is… cool, I guess."

He tilted his head "well that's a first. Most people think I seek drugs. No one's ever invested any interest in what I actually do." He admitted

"But what you do is so neat!" Tolly said, confused. "Why would anyone think you're a drug dealer?"

Cas shrugged "not everyone is as facinated with my job as you are. Most just assume I'm the son of two crazy magic weilders that sold everything and anything. Which is partly true, but we don't sell drugs."

"Then most people are stupid!" Tolly exclaimed, walking over to Cas and wrapping an arm across his shoulders protectively. "I think this place is wonderful."

Cas smiled and Leaned into Tolly "that makes two of us. Mom had always wanted a small shop to sell her home grown herbs, roots and ingredients. Dad baught this store on their 15th anneversery when I turned 10." He said, a nostalgic smile spreading across his face "I was in on the secret, dad had this amazing expression the whole time we drove mom here, so excited to make her happy. She was begging him to tell her where we were going but everytime she tried to pry, he started singing her favorite song."

Tolly cooed at the adorable memory, squishing his cheek up against Cas' with a wide smile. "That's adorable! I bet the look on her face when she saw the store was amazing!"

He nodded and laughed "yeah, it was. She kept glancing back at him, to me then back at the store in disbelief and instead of running to see the store, she ran to my dad and me and hugged us tight."

"Oh my god, that's the best thing ever!" Tolly said, imagining the scene. "You must have so many great memories in this place!"

Cas nodded softly "yeah, is do." He glanced up at him and smiled "what are your favorite memories with your parents?"

Tolly's smile flickered a bit, replaced by something a bit more plasticky and fake. "It's parent actually. Dad ran off on us when my sister was 3. I was 5."

Cas glanced up and frowned, hating the fake smile. "I…I'm sorry…uhm…any good memories with your mom?"

"Um… not really?" Tolly shrugged, turning to the shelves so he wouldn't need to meet Cas' eyes. "My mom's been working for… as long as I can remember. I don't think she ever really had time for us."

He scrunched his mouth to the side "tell me about your sister then." He said, leaning against the counter

"Oh! Fey's a sweetheart! She got into Harvard this year and we're all super siked!" His smile tilted up, becoming more genuine. "I mean, we all knew she was smart, but still!"

Cas' smiled softly, seeing Tolly's smile come back "that's great! What's she majoring in?"

"Law! And she's minoring in philosophy! It's kind of incredible… I mean, I remember when she was about ye high." He gestured at his thigh, laughing. "And now she's in college!"

He laughed softly "truely is amazing. Is she a witch?" He asked "has to be smart if she has to keep her ability low-key."

"No, actually. We're all werewolves." Tolly smiled."I mean, I got a little magic from dad, but Fey's got nothing."

Cas tilted his head in surprise "you're kidding, like the shapeshifting under the full moon kind? Silver bullets and all?" He asked curiously "I'm sure she has something. She's got to understand you as werewolves and she must have the instincts of one."

"The full moon thing's actually kind of a stereotype, but… yeah. Silver and wolf instincts and stuff all come with the werewolf territory." He shrugged, blushing lightly. "It's not really that interesting. It's just… who I am."

He stared in disbelief and awe at Tolly "not that interesting? Try telling that to a guy who's never seen a real werewolf in his life." He laughed "so you can shift whenever?"

Tolly laughed, a little surprised by Cas' enthusiasm. "I mean… kinda? My control's not that great, but I can usually do it when I'm not emotional."

"hold on….is the whole imprinting, immortal twilight thing real too?" He asked, completely intrigued
