Another day? [Castiel]

[Deleted]

Castiel looked skyward. He didn't think it was that strange that Serenity didn't seem all that sad about her sibling's death. Perhaps it was firmly in the past... But then again, he wasn't sure anyone asides from his parents truly mourned Zachariah's passing. He was... Extremely unpleasant.

Then she speaks of her fear overriding her sadness. He exhaled. Was he scared of Azrael? He was wary, since he did not understand her reasoning for killing him. Would she kill him? That was a question he couldn't answer just then.

"I am cautious and wary of my sister Azrael. She killed my brother Zachariah."

[Deleted]

Serenity smilled slightly. "Not that type of fear. I don't think I know a single other cat that scares me. Myself, maybe, but that's the only cat I can think of." she responded, a slight bit of worry in her face, but she easily shook it off. Surely it wasn't her she was afraid of. Surely there was something else. "I would be catious if one of my siblings killed another too." she added, slightly puzzled why her own brother didn't fear her in the slightest. He had even been so bold as tto betray her like that. Nothing would make up for that though.

[Deleted]

Castiel didn't exactly understand fearing yourself. Though, he supposed not fearing cats in that manner could be a sort of advantage. He exhaled. "I... Do not believe I am particularly fearful of Azrael. Wary, yes. Afraid? Likely not. I spoke to her... Shortly after I joined Deathclan." He explained. "I do not... Believe I felt fear. I know what that feels like." He sighed.

Lucifer was a cat he felt should be feared. He doubted the younger tom had much of a sense of morality. He talked to 'Kirk' frequently. It was incredibly alarming, further he seemed to find it almost amusing Zachariah's murder. True, Castiel himself was rather indifferent... But amusement?

That wasn't exactly a sane response.

[Deleted]

Serenity nodded, but didn't speak. She knew she was bad at explaining herself, so rather she chose to not even try. She wasn't necesarily afraid of her siblings, they weree nice. She had practically disowned her older brother, but she didn't fear him, or even feel wary of him. She knew her potential, and knew it was easy for her to... she changed her line of thoughts. It had to be that way though, because it had already happened. The best thing she could do about it at the time was forget.

[Deleted]

Castiel wasn't sure why Serenity didn't respond. Perhaps she was thinking. Or perhaps she was afraid to speak. Despite his apparent naivety, he wasn't blind to the pain that other's hid.

He decided to change the subject. At least a little. "I have many siblings in Deathclan." He began. "Michael, Balthazar, Ariel, Azrael, and Lucifer. Michael told me our brother Gabriel has chosen to simply wander as a loner." He explained. "I would be wary of Lucifer and Michael." He advised. "Balthazar and Gabriel are largely independent, though I do not believe they would attack you without reason. Ariel and Azrael are likely to be similar. Though, I'd recommend to be wary of Azrael anyways. She is capable of murder after all...." 

He decided some advice concerning his various siblings would be good. There were quite a number of them. Azrael was the only one who had murdered out of them, but nonetheless his siblings weren't exactly... Moral upstanding citizens.

[Deleted]

"Anyone is capible of murder under the right cercomstance." she responded quietly. "Thanks for the advise." she added, not wanting to come off as rude. "I'll be sure to remember if I ever come across any of them."

Serenity bit her lip for a moment. "I would give some advise on my siblings, but I doubt the living one would ever be near enough to here for you to meet."
(Just noticed the first thing she said was a quote from Supernatural.)

(([distant cackling]

Castiel nodded. He cocked his head. "Your sibling is dangerous?" He questioned, catching that Serenity had implied all her siblings but one were all dead.

[Deleted]

Serenity thought for a moment. "Not as dangerous as I could be considered, but he did kill my only littermate." she said, still unsure how to reespond. Technically she had killedd many more of their family members than him, but he could still be considereed dangerous.

[Deleted]

Castiel heard the implications. Serenity clearly thought her fighting skill was above that of her remaining sibling. He sighed. "Would you truly be able to stand up to him, hypothetically?" He asked. He remembered finding that red-furred tabby... Natalia... He gathered that she'd been attacked by her brother. He'd seen that it had been horribly one-sided due to a lack of hatred or anger aimed towards her kittypet brother.

He wondered if Serenity had such restrictions.

[Deleted]

"Of coarse I could. He's a bad fighter. I get him mad, he lunges, all I have to do is dodge until he get's tired. I beat him all the time when I was just a kit." she responded, choosing to leave out the part where she had killed his two littermates along with her younder siblings. Not that she had been aware of her actions at the time though,

[Deleted]

Castiel cocked his head. "If he is bad at fighting... Then how did he commit murder?" He questioned. Of course, even as he asked the question he concluded that it was likely through trickery. The double-edged sword of trust, family, and friendship.

[Deleted]

Serenity shook her head. "He wasn't the killer, he was the one who sat by and watched my other brother be killed." she responded like it was perfectly odvious, though she knew it wasn't. "He set the whole thing up, or at least, that's what I can tell from past knowledge. I didn't really stick around to interigate him. Or Opal for that matter."

[Deleted]

Castiel didn't say anything at first. As far as he knew... Azrael and Zachariah had been alone when the latter had been killed. By the time they found the body, Azrael had disappeared. His sister's fur was found in between Zachariah's claws and that was how they knew Azrael had killed him. There had been no other scents...

He took a deep breath. "I understand... To a degree."

[Deleted]

Serenity nodded. "He's not my brother any more though. Not by what my family's definition was. I chose to leave and run far away and he chose not to follow me, so he chose to no longer be my brother." she stated, sitting down and licking her paw. That part truly didn't bother her. Her brother hadn't truly been a brother for a long time. That and the fact that she had spent a long time running from the truth had ended up with it all hitting her at once and her relising how stupid it wass to care. She had madde a vow to herself, and she had broke it when she accepted them back into her life. That's why her brother was killed, and that's why it was a lesson. Never break vows that you made for your own protection.

[Deleted]

Castiel sighed. "I see, then." He looked away. "My family is... Not a stable relationship." He admitted. "Our parents are... Demanding and only Michael fully trusts their words." He sighed again. There was a reason that every single one of his siblings had left home. It wasn't that they were adult enough to go out on their own. They all wanted to leave.

Even Lucifer with his unstable mind didn't want to stay. That spoke bounds about the relationship between kits and parents.
