John turned and blinked at Kit in surprise. Now that he hadn't been expecting, and for a moment he couldn't decide whether to be relieved or disappointed. There was a very insistent part of him that wanted Crowley to clear the fuck out and talk about his sodding nightmares later, and it wanted Kit to want the same thing.
But something like two months had passed since the unscheduled trip to Hell, and Crowley had been acting withdrawn and standoffish ever since, leading John to wonder privately just what exactly had been done to his friend and whether he was actually going to recover. His showing up like this probably constituted some kind of breakthrough, John realized. But the sodding timing--!
He fervently hoped that his friendship with Crowley wasn't going to collide on a regular basis with...whatever-the-hell-this-was with Kit. He didn't think his nerves would take it.
Shaking his head to try to clear out the clouds, he turned back to Crowley and added, "Yeah, 's okay. I know from nightmares. 'zit that thing that happened a coupla months back?" He didn't dare be more specific in front of Kit.
