Summary
“Celeste’s settled,” Dean says.
Because Dean knows that’s what Bobby is trying to figure out. He can’t help but have it come out defensively, more than used to how adults typically reacted to that news. Some with skepticism. Others will stare at Celeste and stumble over some barely-disguised insult on her choice of form. The worst, though, are the ones who look at them with pity.
Bobby doesn't do any of that. Aside from a slight pursing of his lips, he seems to absorb the information, then move on without comment. “Alright. Y’gonna help then, or what? Yer old enough to use a knife without guttin’ yerself, yeah?”
