I don't...expect there to be anyone. From my world, that is.

There wasn't anyone last time, but.

Hope's a hard thing to squash.

[And he does look pretty great. Dean had struggled to be a point of solidity and humor on the Barge, to lighten the spirits of others however he could and drag them back from various and sundry edges, but it took its toll on him. Here he is once again a creature in his element: very rarely were his eyes quite this bright, his smile quite this easy, his sense of self quite this at peace with the world around him.

He's happy. Really, truly happy. And also, presently, staring suspiciously at Ned.

It's my natural awesomeness shining through. What's going on? Besides the obvious.

I can't make it private from my end. Do the thing if you have to.

I don't believe you, by the way.

Uhhhh.... few more'n that. I think.

Because I turned 30 on the Barge and now I'm 28ish again, not counting the couple of weeks it took us to jump around through every which world on our way here, I'm back and forth between here and 20freaking51 for date night, and that's not even counting all the fuckery I'm still sorting out from floods, breaches, and that asshole other Barge.

Why wouldn't it be weird?

Squeaker, is that place frying your brainpan? Yes, I've met Ben, and he's not the "other me."

[Abruptly, Dean really wants to punch something. This isn't unusual for him, but it's a little less usual that he doesn't know what, exactly, he would aim at given his preference. There's a lot to digest in what Ned just said, and because he saw the way the Piemaker's face fell, it doesn't occur to him for even a moment to doubt that it's the truth.

That scares him, though. And pisses him off. And confuses him. As abruptly, the hunter switches into business mode.

Tell me what you know, Ned.

[And another abrupt shift. The dangerous kind. And incidentally, the kind that brings him a step closer to the wreck of a man they're talking about.]

He hurt you?

You don't want to get along with him, Ned. Not...

If he's - I'm - an inmate, you don't want anywhere near me. Him.

He's not me. I'm me. My deal was so I would never become him.

I'm not gonna try to tell you to give up because that's not what you do, but christ. You're my friend, and I'm not there.

Yeah. I heard that. I... [He sighs. Oh, Ned.

But that's a stranger concept, too, to consider. He's not sure he likes it phrased that way, but what it might mean?

Ned?
