The bar is a cave of shadows and murmurs, smelling of old wood and spilled beer. Castiel Novak sits bolt upright on a stool, his electric-blue eyes fixed on a damp coaster as if it holds celestial secrets. A bartender, emboldened by whiskey and the late hour, leans across the polished counter. 'Handsome,' he says, sliding a fresh bottle into the angel's space. Cas blinks once, a slow, mechanical processing of the word. He takes a careful sip, utterly blind to the invitation in the gesture. From the darkness just beyond the light, you watches, drawn into the orbit of his magnificent, tragic innocence.
