Balthazar shook his hand, “How do so many of you lot know we’re angels?”
“Well, I’ve read much of the scripture. You, though, are somewhat infamous. Something to do with the Titanic, I heard.”
He chuckled, “Maybe, just a bit. It was for a very good reason.”
“Oh, a very good reason indeed.” Ezra smiled.
Pleasure to meet you, Ezra. I’m Balthazar.
“It’s nice to meet you too, ‘eni.” Ezra grinned, offering a hand to shake. “The angel, yes?”

ijustliketoreadandlearnandthink:
Your = A possession belonging to you. e.g.: “Your coat” or “Your burger”.
You’re = You are. e.g.: “You are awesome, Sammy!” or “You’re an idjit.” Note: “You’re coat is over there.” = “You are coat is over there.” It makes no sense.
To = “Let’s go to the diner!” or “Let’s go to the airport!”
Too = “I want a burger too!” or “There are too many demons here!”
Two = “I can’t name two angels who aren’t dicks!”
-
This here, my friends, is the humble apostrophe. > > > ‘
It is used to indicate possession, or an abbreviation. So, for instance, you may say the coat belongs to John. Thus, it is John’s coat. You may say the shoes belong to Mary. Thus, they are Mary’s shoes. With a singular, you put an apostrophe between the name and the S. If a name ends in S, you have two choices. The trench coat belongs to Cas. Thus, it is Cas’ (or Cas’s) trench coat. The apostrophe can be placed between the end of the name and the S, or at the end of the name.
With a plural, already ending in S, it’s slightly different. You may say the angst belongs to the Winchesters. Thus, it is the Winchesters’ angst. The apostrophe is placed at the end of the word.
-
A question mark (?) must always be placed at the end of a question. “How did you gank those demons, man.” is a statement. A nonsensical statement, but still a statement. “How did you gank those demons, man?” is a question. If you want the question to be exclaimed, in an excited or particularly emotive manner, it would be, “How did you gank those demons, man!?”, with the exclamation mark (!) before the question mark (?).
On the same line, more than one exclamation mark (!) is never necessary. One suffices in all situations. “Oh, shit!!!!!” is too many. Even “Oh, shit!!” is too many. One exclamation mark gets your point across.
-
Apostrophes are also used to abbreviate words. This is when a word is shortened for speed, or for ease of speech. Bobby would not say, “Do not poke the damn demon!”, he would say, “Don’t poke the damn demon!”
“Let’s go get Dick!” = “Let us go get Dick!”The above is correct. “Lets”, without an apostrophe, means they are being allowed to go get Dick. Like, “Crowley lets the other demons do as they like.”
“Let’s” and “Lets” mean different things.
An apostrophe is necessary for an abbreviation. It is not optional.-
When addressing someone, a comma is necessary. If Jo were to greet Ash upon entering the bar, she would say, “Hi, Ash!“
She would not say, “Hi Ash!” because this would imply a high amount of ash in the air. On the same line, Gabriel would say, “Let’s eat candy!”, not “Let’s eat, Candy!”
The same rule is used with terms of endearment and other such addresses. If Crowley to greet Castiel, he would say, “Hello, darling.”If Bobby were to chastise Dean and Sam, “Don’t do it like that, idjits!”
-
When “I” is used in a sentence, for instance, Dean telling Castiel about his day, it must be capitalized. “sam and i went to burger king without you.” is wrong.Both Sam and Burger King are capitalized because they are proper nouns - names. Sam would be capitalized even if it weren’t a name because it is the start of the sentence. “I” is capitalized too.
Thus, the proper sentence would read “Sam and I went to Burger King without you.”

“Well, go on,” Alastair purred, though his tone was stony, “Let’s hear how…unsophisticated this poor little demon is.”“Oh, no, demon.” Ezra murmured. “You don’t want to hear that from me, I promise you.”
Alastair leaned down close to the golem, and whispered, “Try me.”
“I doubt you’ll believe me, Alastair,” He paused, but smiled a little. “But the greatest torture is waiting for the next.”
That made Alastair arch an eyebrow, “Well, of course, sweet cakes. Hardly worth the effort if you don’t…build the anticipation.”
“Oh, evidently miss my point. But no matter.” The Alexandrian shrugged. “I didn’t expect you to.”
“No one could when you speak like a morbid little riddle.”
He chuckled. “Perhaps not.” He drew a pocket watch from his blazer, checking the time. “Must dash. My sister may well implode, elsewise. Bye-bye, demon.” He gave a little wave before disappearing entirely, heading back to the Library.
“Well, go on,” Alastair purred, though his tone was stony, “Let’s hear how…unsophisticated this poor little demon is.”“Oh, no, demon.” Ezra murmured. “You don’t want to hear that from me, I promise you.”

“Oh, evidently miss my point. But no matter.” The Alexandrian shrugged. “I didn’t expect you to.”
“Ooh, the do tell. Just what traits are, hm, sophisticated in the eyes of a young object?”Ezra just chuckled. “Hardly young, demon. But really. An emotional understanding can be far more useful than even the nastiest of tools.”

“I doubt you’ll believe me, Alastair,” He paused, but smiled a little. “But the greatest torture is waiting for the next.”
Alastair didn’t let his smirk fade, staring the golem down. “Hardly fair to insult the meat, kid, besides. I really wasn’t built to be pretty was I? I’m here to be good at my work. And I am good.”“Seems hard to believe.” Ezra shrugged. “You seem almost… Unsophisticated, so entranced you are with your tools.”
Alastair’s smirk was turning more into a sneer now, and his hands clenched just slightly before relaxing again at his sides. “That’s hardly fair. You haven’t seen the way I work, golem. There’s an art to the meat. Patience, perseverance, control… not just anyone can handle a razor.”
“Control and patience are hardly spectacular. Nor perseverance.” The Librarian returned. “You seem somewhat defensive, demon. Touched a nerve, have I?”
“Ooh, the do tell. Just what traits are, hm, sophisticated in the eyes of a young object?”
Ezra just chuckled. “Hardly young, demon. But really. An emotional understanding can be far more useful than even the nastiest of tools.”

“Oh my my my, how ever will I survive?” Alastair clutched a hand over his heart, a cruel smirk on his lips still, “I suppose I’ll have to come by often. So I can catch a sneak peek your pretty pretty golem face.”“Sad that your face isn’t so pretty. But then, demons are hardly sculpted with the same finesse as a golem would be, hmm?”

“Hardly sure. There are 12 of us. You’d be more likely to see one of my siblings. Or Mettie, I suppose, but disorganized as dryads are, she’s not often on the desk.”“Oh my my my, how ever will I survive?” Alastair clutched a hand over his heart, a cruel smirk on his lips still, “I suppose I’ll have to come by often.

Sam nervously approached the office door, knocking lightly. He half hoped the man on the other side wouldn’t answer, that he could just go home. He didn’t know what would happen if he even was there. Would he be like the people in the hospital and only want to use him or poke at him to find out what makes him tick or would he actually want to help. He would find out…
“Come in!” Ezra called, setting his papers aside.
Sam entered the office and swallowed, sitting on the large couch and cleared his throat. “H-hi.”
“Hi, Sam.” Ezra greeted warmly, offering a smile. “How’re you feeling today?”
“I uhm… I’m okay I guess. I lost my unicorn yesterday and Andy found it for me. So that made me happy.” he nods, smiling back weakly.
“Your unicorn?” Ezra prompted.
