Y'know. I think you're the only one that's not pissed at me. Sam's off the friggin' chart and Cas... I don't think I have the patience to deal with his mopey mortal attitude.
[Dean adjusts in his seat uncomfortably and scoops up his drink for another swig. At least there's booze. That always stayed consistent.]
I just want you to know that I get it, and if there was some way I could've stopped it- I would've. In a heart beat.
[ she's actually a little surprised to hear that sam is mad at dean, considering how worried he'd been about him disappearing, but at the same time she understands.
something must happen that no one is really a fan of. ]
Figured life's too short to really be pissed at anyone. [ ouch the irony. ] But they'll cool off soon. With you three's track record, hearing about the future probably wasn't the best news they've had all day.
[ she watches him go after the glass in silence for a moment, wondering if she should have given him that much in the first place. but she figures if anything, he needs it more than most, and she just shrugs. ]
You and me both, but it's not like it matters now. And geez, some hell of a welcome back you must have had.
Yeah, but you're still you. And we're still us. [ in jo's head, it all seems pretty simple. ] I mean, it's not like I enjoyed showing up here and hearing that I've been dead for years, but I got over it. There's the initial shock, sure, but... [ she gives a shrug. ] That might just be me, though.
Yeah, but sittin' on my hands while I wait for it's not doin' me much good. If I wasn't familiar with the whole scenario already I'd be doin' a helluva lot worse.
[Family didn't make it any easier. He and Sam weren't the same person, and life hadn't been very fair to either of them. There was no way of getting back to the people they used to be before the apocalypse, Leviathans, and everything else.]
How do you get over somethin' like that? [He doesn't get why she's not laying into him.] I mean- [There was nothing he could say to make this okay.] Forget it. Maybe you're right.
[ it's supposed to be light, like she's kidding with him, but there's a tone of seriousness to it as there always is whenever jo's trying to get dean to actually listen. ]
So you need some time, it's not a big deal. At least you're here to do something about it.
[ she's quiet for a moment at his question, thinking it over and trying to come up with someone a little deeper than her answer. something that'll mean a little more. but when she can't come up with anything, she just shrugs again. ]
Dunno. Guess knowing that this is all I have kind of put things into perspective? I could be mad, but then I'd be spending however much time I have here mad, and I'm not really sure I wanna do that.
[ while she may be a little surprised at first, not expecting the kiss, she eventually just smiles at him when he pulls away.
there might be a thought to stop him, make him sit back down and stay with her until he shakes whatever mood he's in, but it probably wouldn't even work. ]
That's what I'm here for. And you know where to find me, now that you're back and all.

To tell you the truth I expected a full-scale blow out. I didn't know how jacked up the timelines were until I got back.

I mean that we're all from different years, different days. Some of us are ahead others are behind. It's a lot to consider.
