006: [Location: Angry Skunk Bar]
Mary had planned on spending the rest of the night in her bedroom after Dean left, but then Nathan had asked her to go for a walk, and she didn't want to refuse when he was making an effort to be supportive. He'd reminded her several times over the last couple of weeks that she could talk to him if she wanted to, but she had never taken him up on it. There wasn't a lot Mary could say about her life without making him think she was crazy, or worse, admitting to a past she had never told John about. She walked quietly for the most part, letting Nathan lead in every attempt he made at small talk.
When he suggested getting a drink at the bar, her first thought was to keep walking. It's name, The Angry Skunk, wasn't the most welcoming thing in the world, but she had needed a drink all day. She let Nathan lead her into the bar and pick a booth for them, giving him what she could manage of a smile when they sat down. She couldn't help but think that she'd spent too much time focusing on the world outside of Taxon, and not enough making the most of her time in the city. She didn't know the things that she wanted to about Sam, but she didn't feel comfortable asking Dean to talk about him, either. Nevermind how guilty she felt for being the family member that they'd somehow kept here with Dean. The two of them should have been together, and she never should have been pulled into the city.
"So," Mary unbuttoned her jacket and slid it off, crossing her arms and leaning forward against the table. She didn't care what she had to drink, as long as it was strong. "How's your brother doing? You haven't mentioned him today." She knew why, but she didn't want him to feel like he couldn't talk to her about his family when hers was struggling. That wouldn't have been very fair of her when Nathan was going to so much trouble to take care of her. "I know I've been distracted, but that doesn't mean you should keep me out of the loop."
When people did that, she ended up getting thrown into walls by paramedics. Honestly, her way saved everyone a lot of pain in the long run.
