He sighs out a little. It's driving him a little crazy too. "I hope so." Giving a quick glance over and a half smile. "It's turning out to be hard scraping the money together. But I'm working on it." He props his hand on his fist and looks out at the road. "I wish mine hadn't died all of a sudden like that. But there's nothing I can do about it now, right?"
"I guess you could always make a deal with a demon," She quips easily, the joking nature of her tone very evident in her voice. It's only funny because they know how real it is. One of those things that just...goes with the job, a humor in the macabre.
He snorts and grins at her, real quick, and then looks back at the road and points at a side street. "Nah. I promised my boyfriend. No getting ripped to shreds by invisible dog." Grinning at the gallows humor. And feeling lucky to have a friend where they both instinctively just get it. He looks at her again. "Hey...you might be able to meet the guy outside Facebook statuses if you stick around long enough." Why yes, yes he is looking for Krissy's approval, why do you ask? "How long are you staying?
"Solid promise. Good job," she says, taking a turn onto one of the streets he told her before. She grins, "Oh, yeah? That'd be pretty rad." She shrugs a little, "Hadn't planned, really. I could probably take a few days or something."
"I just wrapped one, like, two towns over, actually. I was so close, it would be dumb not to come by, yanno?" she hadn't seen him in awhile, it was nice when she actually got to see her friends. she grins a little at that last bit. "Nah, more like take a break from 'em."
He reaches over to affectionately punch her on the shoulder. While she's driving. Ahem. "Yeah. That would be dumb. Thanks for coming by. It is really good to see you."
Ben snorts a little and nods. "I don't blame you a bit. Any luck so far?" He pauses. "I have no idea how this all works, outside of what you've told me."
"You'll get there." He grins back, sounding quiet and absolutely certain. He looks out quickly to see whether they've stopped at a stop sign or a burger sign and then back again. "Sooooo, I don't wanna jinx anything, but any big hopes or dreams yet? Where you wanna go, what you wanna study for?"
She takes a right and sees the burger place up ahead. "Something in criminal justice, I think. You know, instead of impersonating the law, actually be part of it." she smirks and pulls into a parking space a moment later.
"I'm thinking cop... Or like, private investigator?" She said the engine and tips her head. "We'll see how it shakes out." She shrugs and climbs out of the car, heading inside the restaurant.
"Dude. You would make an awesome private investigator." He grins at her as he gets out of the car and jogs to keep up with her. "Say I can be your hired muscle sometimes?" he asks when they get to the front counter, totally forgetting his indoor voice. The guy at the counter looks up and looks at Ben like he's trying not to laugh, and Ben flushes bright red.
"Right?" She grins as they walk inside. Krissy can't help laughing a little at her friend's suddenly red cheeks. "You can totally be my hired muscle," she says, elbowing him in the ribs before turning to the guy behind the counter to rattle off an order that probably sounded impossible for a girl her size to down. Ben knew she could, though the guy behind the counter looked doubtful.
He laughs when she elbows him, still a little red. "Thanks." And makes a mental note to keep his voice down a little better, though. And oh, he knows she can put that order away. He's still kind of secretly impressed. When she's done, he puts in his own order--less impressive. Carefully designed to fit the max amount of ketchup, though.
Once their orders are placed, she tugs on Ben's arm and drags him over to one of the booths. She lets go of his arm and slides in the side opposite him, "So, think I can meet your boy while I'm in town?"
Sometimes, in really rare moments and only around people she trust, Krissy is such a girl.
He lets himself get dragged over to the booth, and he flops in opposite of her. He's grinning. He...may be blushing again. "Yeah! Of course! That would be pretty great." And Krissy is Krissy, and he wouldn't have her any other way. And...he'd never say this out loud, but...he's pretty grateful she took his coming out thing so well. He's still getting used to it in some ways.
"Anything you want to do while you're out here? We could all three make a day of it. --How about the science museum?" He holds up a finger and his face lights up. "I hear they've got an exhibit going on of old timey quack medicine...."
"Awesome." She grins brightly at his enthusiastic response. That's a good sign, definitely. No one to hide, nothing to keep from her, or immediate bumbling excuses being made. Someone could cover who they really were on social media, and maybe Krissy's a tad overprotective of the few scarce friends she has. But all things are pointing to good things, so she won't judge the guy too hard when she officially meets him.
She shrugs a little, "Hadn't really thought about it much, but that," She points a finger at him, indicating his idea, "certainly sounds promising. And, maybe we can even go see a movie," She leans forward on her arms, speaking in a slightly exaggerated tone. "Like normal teenagers. Wouldn't that be wild?" She smirks.
Yeah, about that..."Okay...well...a couple of things you should probably know going in ahead of time." He points at her grin and...you know, just getting things out in the open. Nothing to hide, nooo. "Soooo...you know Dean, right? Of course you do. And how he and my mom have...kind of a history, but we don't really remember it?" He pauses as he tries to figure out how to word it. "It turns out, back when he and Sam and his dad were on the road together, his dad kind of got around." He makes a circular gesture. "But...you know. Adam's a lot younger than Dean or Sam. It's cool." Nothing to hide, no. Ben has never been one to hide his hot mess status. "And we didn't know the connection when we first started."
His eyes go exaggeratedly wide and he puts a hand over his heart. "Us? Normal?" He grins at her. "Think we can pull it off?"
"Okay...." She squints at him a little at that start. And then comes the babbling of things she already knows and Krissy can't resist the playful eyeroll and waving hand to edge him onto the point of this story. It all comes to a stop as she realizes what he's saying. "Wait, so...you're dating a mystery Winchester nobody ever knew about?" She's more amused at the sheer ridiculous almost-irony of it than anything. "How small IS the world, honestly."
"I dunno," She laughs, "but we can damn sure try."
"I know, right??" And he gives a gigantic, wavy handgesture, ends up smacking his water glass with the back of his hand, and quickly wrapping his hands around it to stop it tipping over. "And...his last name's Milligan. Actually. But yes." Giving her kind of a squinty is this okayyyy look, like he's a little surprised she's not yelling at him right now.
Krissy almost laughs as he nearly knocks the glass of water over. Sometimes, Ben is so clumsy she's not entirely sure how he manages as a hunter. "Milligan." She echoes, nodding a little. "Good. I look forward to meeting him." She beams. As far as she can tell at this point, there is no reason to be not-okay with things. She'll let that judgment fall down when she sees him eye-to-eye, thanks.
He's not clumsy, he...just gets overenthusiastic sometimes! Yeah, that's it. He grins at her. "I can't wait either. It's gonna be fun." He hears an order come up, then, and jumps up to grab their food from the counter. "Be right back."
Whatever you gotta tell yourself, buddy. "Right?" She grins back and watches as he jumps and runs off to go grab their food. He's so energetic, Jesus, how does he manage it all the time? She shakes her head a little.
Oh, don't get him wrong, he's got a ton of issues, but when he feels good, he feels good, and today he feels good. He comes back with two trays, setting one down in front of her first before setting his own down and sliding back into the booth. "So...how's your little street gang of hunters doing?"
...He pauses and blinks. "Uh...little as in there's not too many of them, not that I'm trying to talk down or anything..."
