[He's gotta, that's one of his occupations in life!]
Losing some memories... more like losing, like, fifteen. [Well, the other Sam looks like he's at least fifteen years older; Sam's just kinda guesstimating his own old self's age. But close enough.] Heard from who? Do you mean um
the devil?
[It would be a lie to say he's not still reeling from this information.
[ You're talking about a little more than a mere decade to a being that's older than the entirety of human existence. Your fifteen years aren't even a drop in the ocean for him. ]
It's a small price to pay considering you're already making new ones. This time, he won't be dictating your life from the sidelines. I've made sure of it.
[ Meaning, he's been stalking around their home to make sure there's no demons hanging around. This time, he won't let them get to him. ]
Lucifer, yes.
[ He confirms, unaware of how it might have affected him to learn he was the harbinger of the Apocalypse, the very being that housed the devil himself. No child would take that news well. Unfortunately for Sam, Castiel isn't human enough to understand all of this. Nor does is he aware enough to try and blunt his words. Instead, he carries on, questioning him the same way he would his grown-up self without any awareness of the implications his words might have on his young mind. ]

That he's not a little depressed from it.
But nobody has to hear about that part, right?]

Has he tried to contact you? Do you feel him?
no subject
I mean, how would I know?
Or tell?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I haven't heard anything.
How would it even feel??
[Those replies come in quickly, a bit of panic in the swiftness.]

I haven't heard any voices at all. Nobody in my head but my own thoughts, I think.
