'ey. I saw 'im after the Oz thing, but not since. Sorry...

That was weeks ago.

[Also, hi Rose. Ur lookin mighty nice in dat nightgown.]

Well obviously, I jus'-



What's wrong?

I think he's gone.

Oh no.



More o' this, then. I'm assumin' ya looked for 'im? Is there anythin' I can do?

[He shakes his head]

No. Just keep a look out for him, I guess. He could be trapped or something.

[He is so sick of this house and it's shit. SO sick B( ]

I absolutely will.



I'm sorry, Sam. Is Dean okay?

Yeah.

[A beat and he looks straight into the lens.]

Are you?

Yea, fine. Was jus' thinkin' abou' the newcomers.

I haven't been keeping tabs. Are they okay?

They're... nice!



Is Dean around ya anywhere?

Where are ya?

Righ'. I'm comin' down there.

Uhm. Okay.

[But he's not sure why she's coming down there. Cas aside, it's late, and Dean is asleep.]

Bedtime snack, or wha'?

[Wearing a t-shirt and jim-jam pantrs of his own, he debates a comeback, but doesn't.]

I couldn't sleep.

We'll do our best t' find Castiel. I jus' saved 'im back in Oz. I'm not gonna go an' forget 'im now.

'ey! Brilliant! Cuppa tea would 'elp ya.

Is that your answer to everything?

[He says smiling, perched against the counter. Not gonna lie, though. There was something there when she touched him.]

Ah, tha's where you're wrong, Sam Winchester. It's my mum's answer to everythin'.



Sam? Uh, this is gonna sound mad, but... do ya trust me?

[And he's instantly back on guard. He should have known there was something else going on. There always was.]

Of course, Rose. What is it?

Good.



I need t' tell ya abou' somethin' dangerous in the 'ouse. You're the experts, you an' your brother. I'm sure you've dealt with the sort before, but once I tell ya, I gotta ask ya t' leave it alone.

[Sam stiffens and raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest.]

What is it?

One of the new... people. 'is name is Eric Northman, an'-



'e's a vampire, Sam. An' you're not gonna go after 'im, an' if ya tell Dean, I swear I'll kill ya.

A vampire.

[He's very quiet for a long moment, thinking back to the last few times he ran into a vampire. To be honest, it's a good thing he knows before Dean. He's way more likely to let the thing live.]

What makes you think I won't kill him?

Because I'm askin'.



'e's from a different Earth, Sam. The people there- they know. Vampires live in society, goin' t' pubs, an' drinkin' synthetic blood.



Eric's jus'... different.
