Cas was still clearly wary. He seemed very disheveled and still scared despite Halm having done nothing to harm him. "Erm… how long were you planning on staying?"
Cas was still clearly wary. He seemed very disheveled and still scared despite Halm having done nothing to harm him. "Erm… how long were you planning on staying?"
Halm looked at Cas, a little saddened.
"I'll be leaving very soon," he said softly. "it is obvious I am unwanted here."
Cas winced a bit, feeling guilty. "I-I don't mean it like that… you seem very nice, I just… don't want you getting into trouble with the authorities or anything…"
Halm hadn't been expecting that.
"Oh," he said softly. "It's alright. I won't get in trouble." Halm was still a bit shocked, toileting his head a little.
"How do you know? I don't have a phone or anything, but if someone else shows up, they might call the police."
"And what would the police try to do?" Halm said can't, slowly. He didn't want to scare Cas, but he knew the police wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"Well, arrest you, I guess… and they might taze you or use a tranquilizer gun or something…" Cas fidgeted nervously, still holding the cat close.
"I see," Halm said. He was silent for a moment before he stood up. Now, he was towering over Cas, though he didn't mean to.
Cas cowered against the tree, paling again. "I-I'm sorry, I… I didn't mean…" He clung tighter to the cat.
"No, no, you haven't done anything wrong," Halm said quickly.
"But if I really do scare you this much I shouldn't stay around."
Cas apologized again and sighed shakily. "I-I dunno… I just… is it safe for you to be here?"
"Perfectly safe," Halm said quietly. "But you are not the only one who reacts to me like this. It would be best if I left this world." Halm seemed so defeated- no one wanted him. Just like it had been for hundreds of years.
(Should we bring in spooky God boy again?)
"I-I know, but still… I just… I dunno…" Cas sighed softly.
(Him or spooky good girl that you haven't met yet)
"It's alright," Halm said. He took a few steps away, turning to leave.
(:00)
Cas hesitated before waving. "It… uh… it was nice to meet you?"
(eh…. Yeah, let's go spooky gurl -w-)
Halm looked back at Cas, giving him a small smile.
"If you say so," he said softly before turning away again.
"Halm, you're just going to let the boy go?" A thick, rich voice purred from the shadows. "So I suppose it wouldn't affect you if I took him myself." Halm froze, whipping around.
Cas jumped and froze again. "There's another one?!" The cat ran again, hissing and spitting. He went pale and slowly got to his feet.
"Ethal," Halm growled. Goddess of bloodshed, know for draining people for fun. Halm hurried back, putting himself between Cas and the shadows.
"Leave him alone."
Cas gulped and looked between the two deities nervously. He swayed a bit and, after a few seconds, collapsed again.
The goddess, Ethal, was dressed in black and reds, with heavy makeup. Halm looked down at Cas, worried and picking Cas up to protect him.
"Why are you so protective of the boy," Ethal asked, scoring a little. "He isn't yours."
Cas remained limp in Halm's arms, color slowly returning to his face. Cas's cat appeared at Halm's feet to hiss at Ethal.
Halm moved Cas to one arm, holding him close and away from Ethal.
"And you have no right to him."
"Only if you decide to keep him! If you don't, he's fair game again."
Cas stirred a little and whined, huddling close to Halm. He seemed mostly relaxed now, but still a little jittery.
Halm was happy Cas send more relaxed, but that want the most important thing right now.
"I haven't made my decision yet," he said slowly.
"Well, to on then! I'm waiting~" Halm hesitated, trying to think of a way out of this. What he needed was for can to walk to up. If anything were to happen, he would need Cas's permission.
Cas stirred again and soon opened his eyes. He froze when he noticed Halm was holding him and had to use every ounce of self control he had to not scream again.
Halm looked down to see Cas staring up at him, lips pressed together.
"I'm, waiting," Ethal complained. "Either take the boy for your own or hand it over."
"Hold on, what's going on?? I'm not an item, you know! You can't just own me!" Cas glared over at the newcomer.
"Actually, we can. A perk of being a god." Ethal leaned towards Cas, sneering a little.
"And the only reason you aren't mine yet is because this big idiot is stalling." Halm turned Cas away from Ethal, shielding him.
"Why the hell do you even want me?! I'm just some random guy! I don't have any special skills or anything! And I'm an American, dammit! I have rights!"
"You've got blood don't you?" Ethal grabbed Cas's chin, forcing him to look at her.
"Then you got something I want. And where your from doesn't matter to good darling, a human's a human no matter where you're from." Halm grabbed Ethan's wrist, trying to get get off of Cas.
