Our Lady of Fandom, Thursday

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel had at least learned enough about people to realize that he probably wasn't going to get much of a congregation, today.

And he was right -- the "bad boy" in the leather jacket was missing, at the very least. The old lady in the front row was there as usual, though. Castiel occasionally wondered if she ever went anywhere else.

"I am told that today is the day that Americans set aside to acknowledge and appreciate the good things that they have in their lives. I'm also told that Canadians do this in October, and as such, there's some friction between the two cultures as to which day is the true Thanksgiving.

"The fact is, every day should be Thanksgiving. One should always take time to appreciate and thank the Lord and the other forces in one's life for the good things you've received. Even if someone doesn't do something to get your thanks, it's always appreciated, and the lack of it can breed animosity.

"The ritual feasting probably shouldn't happen every day, though."

Chuck didn't have anywhere better to be and no Thanksgiving plans to speak of, so he didn't see why he should deviate from his normal Thursday activities. So he was at church, as per usual, taking up more space in a pew than usual, and wondering what would be the outcome if Canadians and Americans went to war over Thanksgiving.

He'd like to think the Americans would win. They'd send Paula Deen over to make a artery hardening Thanksgiving in order to achieve victory.

Castiel nodded to Chuck, pleased to see him stop by.

Sure, he knew better than to expect Chuck to run home and spend quality time with his father, but that didn't mean he wouldn't skip church in favor of a food coma or something.

Cass obviously did not know the people making the school dinner. Chuck did and in no way did he want to eat anything Sam made, no thank you.

Which was why he was sitting in church and nodding back at Cass.

[scruffnfeathers]

It had never occurred to Castiel to wonder if Sam would be a good cook or not. After the service, he came over.

"I hope you're having a pleasant feast day."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Well I haven't done much feasting but I did manage to cook without catching something on fire," he said. "Which, for me, is a big deal considering I usually have people doing that stuff for me."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Isn't catching fire part of the process of cooking?"

Mental note: never let the angel near a kitchen.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck just stared for a moment. "I'm pretty sure you never want anything in flames most of the time."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Ah. I don't know a great deal about food preparation."

Clearly.

"I noticed," Chuck said, smirking. "I don't think anybody is going to hold that against you considering you don't eat unless you're high."

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel frowned. "I don't eat when I'm high."

He was thinking elevation-wise, of course.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah, you do," he said. "Or do you not remember that one time when you ate about half of Jeff's pastry supply in one go?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"That was no more than a few feet more above sea level than most of the island."

There was a brief moment where Chuck wondered what the hell Cass was talking about before the light bulb clicked in his head. "High has got several meanings, one of them being for when, you know, when you're on drugs. Like after you smoked that stuff Andy gave you."

Dean thought that was probably the most optimistic he'd ever heard the angel. "Listen to you, being all cheery," he said by way of greeting.

[scruffnfeathers]

Castiel even managed a quirk of the lips in response. "I'm told it is a cheerful occasion for many people."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It is," Dean confirmed. "I mean... family gettogethers, turkey... pie... What's not to be cheerful over."

[scruffnfeathers]

"Chuck seems somewhat less cheerful at the prospect of being in the same vicinity as his family."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, it helps if your family isn't, y'know, douchebags," Dean admitted. "But that doesn't make the pie less awesome."

[scruffnfeathers]

"I've never had pie."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"What?" Dean stared. "Seriously?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"I am always serious."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, okay, you're not exactly Mr. Chuckles," Dean admitted. "But seriously? How long were you hanging with back from Hell!me?"

[scruffnfeathers]

"Our time together was rather focused on the averting of the apocalypse."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dude, apocalypse or not, there's always time for pie," Dean insisted.

[scruffnfeathers]

"I suppose the opportunity never presented itself."
