Cas huddled close to Halm, scratching behind Nix's ears to try and calm down. "I don't wanna die… not yet, anyways."

"I don't want you to, either," Halm said. "I'll keep you safe."
"Thanks, Halm… does my soul think it's in danger or something?" He asked.
group
"I… I don't know." Halm pulled Cas a little closer, and continued making his way to the house. Already, things were starting to become visible.
Cas glanced up at the house, looking uneasy. He was understandably afraid, and he couldn't quite understand what was going on.
group
Halm brought Cas into the house, thinking.
"Someone's going to try to kill him," he realized under his breath.
(Yaaay lol)
He closed his eyes again once they were inside and sighed. "What else are we doing today, love?"
group
Halm blinked a few times.
"You did it again," he said instead of answering Cas's question.
"Did what again?" Cas asked, confused.
group
"C-called me love," Halm explained.
Cas blushed, his heart pounding. "I-I'm sorry, I… I hardly know what I'm saying anymore… I… um… I must be tired or something…" He stammered. Dammit, brain…
group
"It's okay!" Halm said quickly. "I… Don't mind." He shrugged a little, trying to make it less of a big deal.
"I'm still sorry…" Cas hid his face in Halm's chest, sighing. "I really don't want to make you uncomfortable…"
group
"Cas, it's fine. You didn't make me uncomfortable." Halm raised one hand and put it lightly on top of Cas's head, smiling softly.
Cas glanced up at Halm from where he was. "Are you sure…?" He asked softly.
group
"I'm sure," Halm said, giving Cas a small smile.
Cas sighed in relief and nodded, hiding his red face again. "Um… moving on from that, what else are we doing today?"
group
"We have a free day today," Halm said.
"Perhaps a trip up to the Earth?"
"Sure. It gets kinda chilly down here. Do you wanna go now?" He asked.
group
"I see no reason not to." Halm smiled, turning and heading towards the closet.
"Are we going through the closet?" He glanced between Halm and the door, confused.
group
"Yep. It's the faster way to get there, why?" Halm glanced down at Cas.
"Oh, well… it's just… it's not how we got here, so I was wondering why."
group
"Well, the closet is a one way thing." Halm opened the door, stepping in.
"Ah… how are we going to get back, then?" He asked.
group
"Same way we got here in the first place. Don't worry," Halm closed the door behind them, and then they were stepping out into a forest.
Cas nodded and breathed in the fresh forest air, relaxing immediately. It was a little chilly, perhaps, but compared to the underworld, the temperature was very comfortable for Cas.
group
Halm breathed deeply, smiling a little. He always had loved to earth more than his home.
Cas lay his head against Halm's chest, but kept his face turned towards the forest so he could take in more of the sweet air. "I forgot how much I like this forest…"
group
Halm nodded, smiling.
"It's easy to forget, at times." He adjusted his hold on Cas a little.
"So, what would you like to do now?"
