Arik rolled his eyes, taking a long drag off of his cigarette and leaned in close to Ezria's face, a lot like he was going to kiss her, before he smirked, "You're here because you're running scared like everyone else…and I'm doubting anyone is going to take in another demon, during this mess.  Good luck with batting your eyelashes.  Honestly, if I didn't need you…I would kill you right now…", he whispered.

Straightening, he gathered what emotions he had accidentally let show, his memories kicking his ass for a second and stood close to Bobby.  Honestly stress was getting to him, as bad as the others, at that time.  As Bobby leaned toward him and showed him the ingredients list, he winced, realizing that they would need the help, and the firepower to actually get them.

"I hate to say it…but…she's got leverage, here.", he sighed, squinting his eyes as the words became hard to admit out loud, "And I know what she wants.  What do you want?"

As he asked the question, he flexed his fists, before a flutter of wings blew the hair from his forehead, and Castiel stood in front of him, between he and Ezria.

"Bobby, I…", Castiel started, and his eyes landed on Arik, "I didn't realize you were dog sitting.  How did you get here?" he asked.

"Unlike you, my wings aren't clipped.  You got a little…", Arik signaled toward his own nose, as a trickle of blood fell from Cas'.

Reaching a hand up, Castiel quickly wiped the blood away, and sneered, "My wings are NOT clipped!  What have you found?"
