[h2]Esme Stirling[/h2]

Esme couldn’t help but give a slight smile at Dean’s words. After all this time, he still had trust in her. It faded slightly as he continued, but nodded to show understood where he was coming from. Esme stood there for a moment before putting the unused gauze back into the kit, then moved back to where she was standing on Dean’s left to have them all in eyesight. She crossed her arms across her chest as she listened to Mika’s comment. 

Something told her that Mika wasn’t being completely truthful about what she said. Her attention went to Natalia as she spoke, then gave a nod when she agreed to her staying behind with her. She couldn’t help but give the slightest of smiles at Natalia’s words to Dean and agreed with her. She had heard many stories about the Winchesters over the years and knew no matter how bad it seemed, they always came out of it. Though that still did little to calm her concerns about the whole thing, since they didn’t have any idea what they were facing or walking into. 

When Dean rose to his feet and grabbed his jacket, she took a couple of steps back, even though he tried to not knock her and Mika over. At Dean’s words, she shook her head and gave a small laugh of her own. You just can’t keep a Winchester down. She thought to herself as she watched him cross the room to the door. When he stopped at the door and gave his dad speech, she gave a smirk. “Yes, sir, Dad.” she replied with a mock salute, a smirk still on her lips.
