[Yes please, let's just ignore all that and move forward. Stay in the moment. That's what Raleigh is best at.
He sits and smiles as Wu cuddles in, happy to lend himself as a leaning post. But he can do one better and puts his arm over the back of the couch. More comfortable for the both of them. C'mere. Have a cuddle. Raleigh smells like wood fire, soft vanilla and old books.]
Oh? She sounds like a piece of work. Servants woulda done just about everything for you, right? How could you avoid them?"
[That warms his black, angry heart, Wu, it really does.]
I'm glad to be here.
[And he really means that. It's such a relief to sit with his friend, safe and sound again. Raleigh tries not to think about the circumstances, he really does, but he can't help it. The idea that someone would pick him for fun, for murder, makes the rage hiding just under his skin vibrate. He's beyond pissed off and no amount of cuddles will quell the teeth and claws he plans to sink into Sam Winchester.]

Ah, yes. She wasn't exactly a reasonable person. But she was the Queen.
[ He sighs and closes his eyes. Then, softly: ]
I'm glad you're here.
