The thing about being on the road is you never knew where you'd end up. As it so happened, Dean and Sam were staying at a nearby motel and Dean wanted a drink in a major way. It had been a long day. Sam decided to stay behind and read and so Dean set out on his own. He left the Impala behind as it was just a short walk and a well lit night.

Dean walked into the cantina, ordered a beer and settled on a seat off near a corner. He sat down, leaning back in his chair and took a nice long cool drink.

"Maybe you can show me that one sometime hmm?" He asks. He notices the sparkle in John's eyes and gives him a smile.

"I haven't figured it out yet," says his little alter-brother candidly. "Mara knows it, though."

Then he looks at his fingers. "I'm gonna go show this to Mara, okay, Da... Uncle John?"

"Sure, Buddy, go ahead." John smiles at him. "Do you remember the way?"

"Yup! Through the funny door 'n think of Mara." Buddy finishes his milk, then wriggles down and pauses to give Dean a grin before running away.

John watches him go. "Thank you."

Dean waves. "See ya Buddy. Have fun." He turns to John.

"For what?"

"Those are the first words he's said since his father was killed." John thanks the furry waitress as she tops up his coffee mug, then drinks deeply.

"You mean he's never talked to anyone else until now?" Dean asks, surprised. He takes a swig of his beer.

"Not in over a month."

Dean was even more surprised. "Why do you think he talked to me?" He raised his eyebrows.

"The mysterious older brother he's never met, but heard stories about for as long as he can remember?" John's brows do a similar movement. "You're a celebrity."

Dean laughs. "Yeah when you put it that way. Should I be practicing my autograph?"

"Buddy can't read yet." John chuckles, then sobers. "How did Sam look when you saw her?"

"Aside from creepily attractive? She looked alright. I mean I guess I'd have to really know her to know the difference. We had a little argument but I think it's all good."

"She was healthy?" His worry for his remaining child shows in his eyes. "No dark circles under her eyes?"

Dean tries to remember since he met her the first time he was in the nexus. "She looked a little tired I guess..." He says. "I kinda felt bad upsetting her."
