[h3] Cason [/h3]

Cason sat the stolen phone on the small table by the window, turning in the darkness to stare over at the human on the only bed in the room.  He chewed at his lip, as he watched her chest rise and fall, a small tuft of her hair blowing and falling again against her lips.  It wasn't in his nature to care for humans, but he did have some weird morals toward other demons.  If a demon risked its eternal free life for him, he would owe them until he repaid the same debt.  But the Winchesters brought something out in humans or at least found humans with the ability to pull at his 'being a bad demon' side.

He took a deep breath, not needing to sleep, and slowly stepped across the room.  As he walked, he was thankful the room was carpeted.  He wasn't the best at staying quiet.  He approached the edge of the bed and stared down at her for several minutes, before reaching a handout and holding it over her mouth.  She was breathing.  She was sleeping.  He had seen Annabeth sleep plenty of times, and even faked the process himself while with her.  But, the action of sleeping still amazed him at times, after all these years of not sleeping.

He sighed, not even really knowing how long someone as tired as Esme would need to sleep.  Was she in a coma?  Should he try to save her?

As he pondered her mortality, her face scrunched into anger.  She jerked a bit and Cason furrowed his eyebrow because this seemed familiar.  Without warning, her hand came up to greet his chin as she fought whatever was now making her whimper in her sleep.  Grabbing her wrist, he placed it on her chest and tried to hold it there, "Hey.  You're having a bad dream...you're..."

He sighed deeply at the relentlessness of the nightmare and stood from the bed, stepping around to the empty side and climbing on.  He could still hear her whimpering in the dark as he grabbed at her flailing hands, and pulled her upper body onto his lap, stroking her hair.

"This is going to be annoying...", he whispered, stroking her hair gently.  There was nothing to do but wait for the others, or for daylight to come.
