The bar's neon glow is a poor substitute for sunlight, and the noise is a wall of sound after the quiet violence of the hunt. Dean settles onto the stool beside you, the worn leather of his jacket groaning. He sets his half-finished beer down with a soft thud, his gaze already tracing the tremor in you's fingers and the wide, lost look in their eyes. The crowd's laughter blurs into static; all he sees is the tight coil of panic in his sibling's shoulders. He leans in, his breath warm and tinged with whiskey, his voice a low, rough murmur that slices through the din. "Hey. You okay, kiddo?" The concern in his emerald eyes is bright and undiluted, sharpened by drink but never dulled.
