Luka stands on the sand at early morning, with the sky breaking blue over the black water. He wears a long overcoat and feels the wind on his bare legs. In his pockets he has their signed, wine soaked contract, a sarong folded to the size of a handkerchief, and a pocket square wrapped in tissue paper and a flimsy cardboard box. When the demon arrives he’ll negotiate hand off of the pocket square, then run into the surf to be in deep enough water to swim away when the spell is cast.
He doesn’t doubt that Crowley would transform him on the sand and let him flop there suffocating for four hours. An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure. He’ll do the handoff waist deep in the surf if he needs to.
He wonders if there are any other marlins nearby. Or what the sky looks like reflected on the surface of the waves.

In an act of self serving mercy, he makes it so that Luka regains the ability to talk. Mostly because its funny.
What a cheeky fucking icon I love it

“Bring the water up,” he grumbles. “I’ll spend the better part of an hour trying to reach it from here.”
