[His eyes light up at the sight of books, and he actually will put the first two to good use; he's already curious and can't wait to learn the extremely baffling slang he's always surrounded by.
The last one, though, earns Crowley a look.]
I'm not certain how this joke began. Sam does not resemble a moose.
[And he throws the book lightly at Crowley. The demon will enjoy it more than him.]
[Crowley doesn't really seem to be doing much of anything except taking up space, languidly relaxed in his corner. He even takes a throw pillow and sets it in his lap to play around with a loose thread. Blame the bunnies.]
[Castiel's eyes flicker briefly and he looks back down at the book for a moment at the mention of the Leviathan. But what Crowley said before caught his attention.]

[He catches the book easily, with some amount of amusement.]
Have you ever seen a moose charge at something? I'm told it's a terrifying experience.

[He drifts over to sit on the couch next to Crowley, opening up one of the books.]

[He flips open the book with a twitch of his fingers.]
Disembowelment...

You are aware you cannot go beyond wishful thinking.

[As he flips through the book with some amount of interest.]
I could turn his pelt into a coat.

[Just putting that out there. And then he does give Crowley a look.]
You are not wearing Sam Winchester's skin as a coat.

[And Crowley pauses before he leans forward slightly, with half a grin.]
And I became the king of Canada because I outwitted a very powerful creature into signing his life away.
[But then Crowley leans back into his corner, stretching slightly, so his knees just barely brushed against Castiel's leg.]
But you're busy reading, so I won't bother you with tales of my magnificence.

[Castiel glances over again, curious, then looks down as Crowley's knees touch his leg. He's started to catch onto Crowley's little hints.
He promptly ignores it, as well as Crowley's last comment.]

The Leviathan.

You outsmarted it?
[Offline]
Naturally.
[With half a grin, amused.]
I said that I would handle it.
[Offline]
So you did. But you refuse to explain how.

[Something tells him Castiel would be very upset to know that Crowley might have sealed Dean Winchester in Purgatory for all of eternity.]
Just trust that I managed it.
