She sat on the bank of the lake, staring out at the water. It was calm here, incredibly so - helping her keep her own heart rate in line and to a steady pace. Her breathing was especially important, and after several moments, she opened her eyes, a small shockwave going over the water and causing ripples in it. The rumors held true - her brother was becoming more and more of a troublemaker. Rebelling against Heaven itself and the order of things. She hadn't agreed with the Apocalypse going on at first, not until she'd sat and thought about it for quite a long time. After sitting on it, she'd come to the conclusion that since her father wasn't there to keep everything going smoothly, it was better to pull the plug as quickly as possible, so that perhaps the Earth could be a little less of a wreck going into Paradise. She hoped and prayed she was right. <br><br>
Either way, Castiel had left Heaven and began helping the Winchesters. It wasn't that their ideals weren't admirable, not at all. Remy enjoyed their hero complexes and their need to constantly be the ones to save the world - to save the people there - but their hearts weren't in the right place about it. It was, this time, less about saving the world and more about saving each other. They were slowly but surely becoming far too entitled and snotty about the entire thing. She sighed to herself, drawing a few symbols in the sand before her, chanting lightly to call Castiel to her. She'd made no move against him, nor for him, not like the others - many of which wanted him dead for his lack of allegiance to them. She didn't like the way things were going at home either, if the truth were told about it. <br><br>
Wind rustled, but after seconds of nothing she assumed it was nothing more than the wind, the blue-haired girl going back into her thoughts after a moment or two, going over what it was exactly she was going to say - to try and convince him not to do this, to stay on their beaten path, to keep the death toll as low as possible as the record continued spinning. She took a breath, looking up for a moment and closing her eyes. Would he even listen? That was the question, really. None of her family was ever very good at listening outside of her. They were very headstrong, all of them, selfish at times, self-centered, hot-tempered and rude. It was because of that she'd begun taking leaves to Earth so long ago under the premise of getting a closer look at the things she was to be writing about daily. Another rustle of wind caught her attention back to reality, the flutter of wings putting a smile on her lips. He'd come after all.<br><br>
"This place is beautiful." She said simply, not turning to look at him for the time being, only focusing her gaze out on the lake, smiling lightly in the soft breeze. "Even though the water isn't perfectly clear, it is still beautiful." Her sentiments were met with silence at the moment. She looked down, towards the sand and the symbols, before adjusting her jacket a little bit and standing up, wiping the sand off her rear and turning to face Castiel. "I'm not here to condemn you, Cas. But I would like it if you'd reconsider your stance on this." She looked away for a moment, then back to him. His powers were nothing as they were months ago, his vessel's face showing signs of weariness. It was no picnic being the vessel of an angel, any angel.<br><br>
"I know the boys are frightened. They have perfectly good reason to be. Our brothers aren't known for their caring ways, especially towards humans. But... They should take into account their lives are not the only ones on the line here." She frowned a bit, looking up into the trees as a small bluejay flew from its nest. She scrunched her nose, her dislike towards birds still not strong enough to overcome her concern for the life on this planet. She looked back towards him once again.
