starter for @daisiblings,
castiel cannot help but wonder how the humans can bear it all.
what little protection their soft, flabby flesh provides them! how breakable are their bones! how unprotected their organs!
what perils they face, just in navigating the trials of daily existence!
he cannot pretend to understand why god has left his favorites so exposed. he cannot pretend to understand why god has left ----
perhaps his musings serve to distract him momentarily from the carnage in front of him -- but the pounding heart of his vessel reminds him -- this human will bleed out if he does not intervene.
wordlessly, he raises a hand over their exposed flesh. should his powers fail him now, another of god's chosen will perish.
despite himself, despite reason & logic, he cannot bring himself not to care.
