[oh!! you can talk to him!! that's exciting. hello, not-human. the one from the trees wanted to see how you are doing. it's ok he doesn't need food he gave him some before he came down here and what are you doing?]
[the little bird hops closer to him. there there, not human. it looked like you were laying down. humans sleep laying down, right? do not-humans sleep like that? were you sleeping?]
[ he SHOULD be worried. he should be. everyone should be. ]
I used to have wings like that, but I don't anymore.
[ it's not why he doesn't sleep, but he's not going to confuse poor robin by trying to explain it. in his experience, they're very straightforward creatures. it's something to admire. ]
[ castiel won't want to move too much, because they're such delicate creatures, but he touches robin's little head with his fingertips, feeling slightly self-conscious. ]
Thank you. That's very kind.
[ guess you'll just have to ask him the next time you see him, huh? 😊 ]
[oh yes!! the bird will go on to tell him all about, the wind through its feathers, bird friends playing in the sky, all kinds of things.
Dionysus will listen quietly- it's always interesting to hear each individual creature's perception, even if he himself experienced it by flying with him. and it gives me Ideas]
[ castiel listens without interjection. he has no reason to interrupt, and once the little bird starts, it seems to work up quite the momentum. a bit like flying.
he only speaks again once the bird is done. ]
Thank you. That's very helpful.
[ at least someone is enjoying life here in the city. ]

[ it takes a few moments for castiel to put two and two together.
but for everyone he's met, there's only one person he can imagine would be able to command— or ask— a creature for their help. ]
I'm... just... [ what is he doing? ] ...That's a surprisingly difficult question to answer.

why? the bird tilts its little head at castiel. do you not know what you're doing?]
no subject
No.
I don't think I do.

[ he offers a smile. he wonders if the little bird understands what it means. ]
You must sleep comfortably, under your wing.

Dionysus, meanwhile, is listening to this whole thing, being both a.) charmed and b.) worried about Castiel's........ everything.]
