[Later that night, after what happened with Agnes, Crowley will receive a message.]

What do I owe you for the assistance?
Both for me and for Agnes.
I'd like to compensate you for the trouble somehow.

You don't owe me anything, that isn't how this sort of thing works

What sort of thing?
You healed me.
You got her home.
You didn't have to do any of that.

[Ugh gross, he's going to have to say it.]

Friendship, you bloody idiot

[Jon stares at the message for a long moment. He's friends with Crowley? When did that happen? Is he talking about them? Jon has a hard time believing he is. Or-

Oh... Oh. He's talking about Agnes. He must be friends with her. Or maybe he means Martin? That makes more sense, as well.]

Right.
Sorry.
I hadn't realized you two were that close.
She's all right?

[Jon you're so FUCKING stupid.]

We met during that mistletoe business, I like her.
And she will be, I should think, might just need a bit of time

[It's the only reason Martin is in love with him. He has no other qualities that could possibly be lovable apart from the stupidity.]

I'm just sorry it happened.
She didn't need something like that with everything else she's got going on.
There was something weird happening to her body, though.
The heat got sucked out of it.
I swear, she was like ice.
Couldn't get warm, even with the heat cranked up and under the covers.

I wish I knew what had happened to her.
It almost seemed like some sort of curse the city inflicted on her.

Was it the sex that fixed it?

[He wasn't going to talk about that, but it seems like Jon wants to know the answer to what was going, and Crowley has a suspicion or two.]

[WHY WOULD YOU JUST ASK THAT STRAIGHT OUT?]

We didn't have sex.

[They just... made out. While Agnes rubbed herself off on him. It's fine.]

She got better after something like that happened, though, yes.

[He thought Jon would appreciate the bluntness rather than making them dance around the topic for like three years.]

I ran into something like that, they weren't freezing, but they were... changed? Obviously affected by something the city was doing. Could be it made Agnes cold because of what she is the rest of the time.

[Jon is a dirty ingrate any which way about it.]

Did they say what they were doing when the change happened?
Or where they were?

[Ah, fuck, he played himself.]

I can't say conversation featured heavily in the whole experience. Might've mentioned the snow? Not sure what that means, it's winter, of course there's snow

[Well.

Jon's just going to ignore the implications there.]

I'll see if there are any recent Statements about the snow.
I haven't had a chance to go through everything from the locals lately.
It's a place to start.
Thank you.

[At least Jon doesn't have to know who it was.]

Sure, don't mention it.
Glad you didn't get burned to death today

I'm just glad Agnes didn't burn me to death.
She's upset enough from what happened.

So it'd be alright if someone else did it, then?

[...]

You don't want me to answer that question, Crowley.
Goodnight.

[He considers his response for a minute or two, before he settles on what he thinks might be the only really smart thing to say in this situation.]

Please go to therapy, Jon.
Goodnight
