so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

[Rose would very much like to see that]

I really did. But he can't ever bother me again.

[venatoris]

[ You know, just going off her tone he has a vague idea of what the answer will be, but he just can't help himself he guesses. ]

Oh yeah? He marry someone else?

[nothinglikea]

[Rose shrugged and looked satisfied]

He thinks I'm dead. I don't plan on changing that assumption.

[venatoris]

Can't blame you there, I wouldn't either.

[ cause it sure sounds kliek the guys a douchecanoe and she's way better off ]

[nothinglikea]

Then we're in agreement. I'm glad. Many people wouldn't mind living in a gilded cage. [her Omen, a canary named Melody nipped at her ear in protest] But a gilded cage is still a cage.

[venatoris]

Sure is.

[ The Beautiful Room had been like that. Granted, he hadn't been in there long - long enough to finally convince Cas to friggin help him, even though it hadn't succeeded in the end.

Still, she's right. A gilded cage is still a cage, regardless of the all you can eat burgers. ]

Hopefully, Trench doesn't turn out to be one itself.

[she remembers how Cal had tried his hardest to buy her love, but Rose didn't think that way. she imagines he'll eventually get married to some docile thing, who won't think to question anything.

but she still has the Heart of the Ocean hidden in her flat]

If it were, I'd imagine that the weather would be far nicer. Like an eternal spring rather than this wretched winter.

[venatoris]

I think you're probably right. Any fake bullshit cage is gonna be nicer than this.

[ Not that Trench itself is horrible or anything, but it's dangerous as fuck and like she said, the weather could damn sure be better. ]

I guess that gives us hope, huh? New home new me, all that.

[nothinglikea]

Yes, quite likely. The squid part alone--! A gilded cage certainly wouldn't have that.

[it is dangerous and she doesn't really know what to do about that. back home, women were intended to be protected by men, but after all she went through...well, she's realized she's not as helpless as her society wanted her to be]

That's a far better way of looking at things. At least I think so?

[venatoris]

Yeah, definitely not.

[ she does certainly not strike Dean as helpless, that's for sure. ]

I'm thinking so too.

[nothinglikea]

[she'd be glad she didn't. she had to find her courage along the way, but once she had? she was unstoppable]

I don't have anything suitable for a toast, but imagine being toasted anyway.
