Zach Daniels has posed:
Central Park's a beautiful place really no matter what the weather. Today is one of those beautiful weather days as Zach Daniels, resident winged fallen angel, and literal Hell's Kitchen resident, has come out here for a walk and a flight and things. Zach's found a nice shaded spot under a tree to sit currently and relax having been soaring earlier in the day, and walking too.

Now? Well, now he's got one of those giant pretzels, a cold soda, and a bag of bagels on the ground with him too and it's all spread out by him within easy reach.

Sure, zach could, probably, arrange it better but it works for him. He's hoping to run across one of his friends out here. Though to Zach, friend is a broad swath of people.

Castiel has posed:
"Hmf."

Castiel blink into existence.

"Yes, I was looking for you." He notes the bag. "Bagels? With cream cheese?"

Zach Daniels has posed:
Indeed there's cream chese...as Zach pulls a bagel out to show that fact.

"Yes" Zach says, and holds one out as if asking hey, want one? It's not a peace offering really, more a hey, why not join in munching New York's best bagels...at least to Zach's tastes.

"You were?" he asks as he sets the bagel down. "Why? I haven't done anything yet. Or are you looking for me because I got food?"

Castiel has posed:
"Maybe." He takes the cream cheese bagels, and munches on it. "Wondered what you were up to." In other words, he was nosy. For a good cause, of course. He did say he'd check from to time to time.

Zach Daniels has posed:
Zach ruffles a wing at Castiel and joins in eating bagels. "Oh?" he adds. "So if I want you to come find mee, I get food? Hm" Zach adds and inspects the bagel he's been chewing on. "Why am I fascinating to people? I'm nothing that special"

Just a common or garden variety fallen angel with wings, a crossbow and a penchant for pastries, bagels and drinks, yep

Castiel has posed:
That draws a little smirk out of the angel. "Or I will."

Castiel doesn't sit, yet.

"I have liked this park, did I know that? It seems to draw out those who are supernatural, but quietly. Like you. Sitting here, with your bagels. Soon, ducks will bother you." And then, "You are happy?"

Zach Daniels has posed:
"So..." Zach thinks aloud. "You're a duck or something? I mean...you don't go walking around the park going quack quack and you don't look like a duck..." Zach muses, tilting his head both ways to look at Castiel. No...not a duck.

"Or do you mean I should save some bagels for ducks? I didn't think they liked bagels and cream cheese though...do you know if they do?" he adds. "Not that you're a duck however"

Castiel has posed:
One hand remains in the trench coat pocket, the other eats his bagel, and gestures with it. "Do I look like a duck? No. But they seem ubiquitous, swarming. They don't like cream cheese, but will eat it if there are bagels." Shrugs.

" Look, I am not a very friendly sort of person. But, you matter."

Zach Daniels has posed:
"Really? You're not friendly?" Zach asks looking Castiel over. Nah...not a duck. "I matter though? That's nice to hear" he nods and leans back against the tree. Zach breaks a bagel into crumbs and leaves it a short distance away for the birds, or small fuzzy creatures, or things, or whatever wants to come eat bagels...as Zach listens keenly to Castiel.

"You're not friendly? You're fine with me"

Castiel has posed:
"Bah, you're broken. The boys are often telling me to be nice." No, he never says why Zach is broken. Heck, so is Castiel! "Next, you will be saying we're buddies." A pause.. "Do you like boiler makers?"

Zach Daniels has posed:
"Do I like what?" Zach asks and looks over to Castiel again. "We're buddies? No...not yet but I'm broken? I don't feel broken" Zach says simply. "I....I don't feel broken. What, do I look broken to anyone else?" he asks and looks around, then back to Castiel again. Zach looks lost at the broken idea...and boilermakers. Buddies with Castiel? Maybe, in due time...who knows

Castiel has posed:
"Yes. You are broken." Castiel shrugs. "Sometimes it's a good thing. You don't think like our brethren do. As you are concerned, you are broken." Castiel then softens his voice, "Not everything is bad. I like you. Sorta."

Zach Daniels has posed:
Zach gives Castiel a curious look. "Broken is..." Zach shrugs. "it's subjective? We may be broken but we're fine in our own minds" he says simply looking up to the heavens. He's got that 'yeah fuck you too' look in his eyes, like he's flipping off the angels with his eyes.

"Who cares if we're broken. We get by. We survive" Zach adds digging in the bagel bag and pulling out a little sachet of cream cheese. Tearing at a bagel Zach smears and eats said bagel with cream cheese on it.

Castiel has posed:
Castiel winks.

"You're catching on." His bagel disappears as he eats it. "You are alright? We can try for boilermakers next time. And pizza. I know a place."
