When Dean reassured her that she wasn't as terrible at this whole expressing her thoughts and feelings as she was thinking she was, she felt a sense of validation. Feeling him link their fingers quickly made her glance down at their hands and then back up at him and smile. 

She couldn't help but chuckle all over again when he called himself a mess, then changing it to they were both a mess. It made her laugh because she knew deep down that he wasn't wrong in the slightest. "you're not wrong there" she agreed with an amused smile on her lips as she continued to feel his thumb rubbing against her hand, before he lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Yeah you're probably right" she nodded, reluctantly letting go of his hands and going back to pushing the trolley down the aisle they were in and toward the till points. 

The whole admitting she did really like him, despite them barely knowing each other gave her butterflies in her stomach. It made her feel like she did when she first saw Nate, which she could only imagine was a sign that she should follow what this feeling was and go with the flow. Maybe letting herself after a year, be involved with someone else wouldn't be too bad after all, she thought to herself. 

[i]As the two of them walked Mika's spirit stood off at a distance watching the two of them bring each other out their shells and smiled. He was finally learning to open up to someone and be the man she always loved. "I'm proud of you Dean" she spoke, confident that no one would see her, not even him, but she had to witness this for herself and still be there for him.[/i]

He was glad that Anya stopped grabbing for the notepad so he could have given more of a reason to why he wanted to know about her demon deal. He could see in her face that him admitting who he truly was was making her elated for whatever reason and if she was holding back her happiness at finding a Winchester then it must be pretty big of a deal for her to seek his help. 

He let her take back the notepad to write down exactly what the deal was, sipping his coffee as he waited patiently for her to finish writing it all down. As she finished and pushed the pad back to him, he read it carefully, glanced very briefly to her then read what she put again. The demon was playing a little mermaid game card with this girl? That did not sit right with him in the slightest, and he was also glad that Dean wasn't around right now because if he knew what he was thinking, Dean wouldn't let him hear the end of it. 

When he was done reading, he rose an eyebrow as if to question her what it was that her dad supposedly had a long time ago. It seemed that she understood his query from his look, as she pulled out another piece of paper and unfolded it before passing it over to her. What he saw on that paper shocked him as he didn't think he would see the Colt ever again, in any form. 

"I hate to tell you Anya, but this gun hasn't been seen in a long time. We used it once but then got rid of it soon after." he told her truthfully. The memories of using that gun on that male phoenix just brought back horrific memories of how Mika died and he was now glad that it was him Anya found, and not Dean. He could easily imagine just how badly Dean would take this news.
