( she has her magic leave the small box on his bed, not wanting samuel or castiel to see it and ask any questions, even though she knows that dean would be suspicious about having something just left on his bed.
it's a simple black gift box, tied with a soft, red bow, and a label that simply says-- )
Dean.
From Rowena
( in her scripted handwriting.
inside the box is a small, celtic-inspired pendant on a chain, and a folded piece of paper )
I enchanted this amulet with a simple spell. Hold it and relax, and it'll project your consciousness to a safe landscape. Your mum will be waiting. It'll work only for you.
I only met her briefly before she was trapped in the other world, but the me back in our world is getting her back again for you. She's a wonderful woman, and you should have the chance to see her again.
( he leaves Cas (vaguely, I don't know from where, but there is a heart to heart of sorts) and heads back to his bedroom.
he spots the box as he closes the door behind himself. he reads the note first. he doesn't know how he feels. he holds the pendant on a chain in his hand while he reads, then dangles it in front of himself as he contemplates it.
he's not ready. he's shut down. but maybe the first part, getting sam back, thaws him. and the second part, castiel's olive branch.
either way, he sets the pendant back in his box, sticks it in his bedside drawer and shuts it.

it doesn't mean he's not grateful.
it means he's not ready,
(not worthy. not enough. not good enough.)
how do you accept something you don't deserve? )
