"Used to be," Anna laughs quietly. She stares back down at her shoes and Ruby swears she looks ashamed.
"Never thought I'd see one up close," Ruby whistles, pushing off of one of the old man's bookshelves to walk over. Anna instantly tenses and nearly falls off the couch as she tries to scramble backwards. Ruby tsks and rolls her eyes. "I'm not going to eat you, girlie."
But she knows Anna doesn't fear her, not anymore. No, now she's disgusted by this lowly demon stinking up the air and daring to talk to her like an equal.
Feh, snobby angel bitch, Ruby thinks, but she doesn't stop walking until she's close enough to reach out and touch the fallen angel.
"If I had my grace, you'd--" Anna starts, but Ruby grabs her by the chin and cuts her off. If she wants threatening, Ruby can do threatening. But she doesn't feel it. Not today.
"Well, you ain't got it. At least not yet. Those boys outside, they'll help you find it."
Anna squints up at her as she drops her hand.
"You're strange. I never thought a demon could be nice." And even without her grace, those eyes on her look bright enough to smite Ruby where she stands. "Well, maybe nice is a bit generous. You mean well, though."
And then she smiles, and angel or not, it's one of the most beautiful things Ruby's ever seen and she has to look away. But there are plans in motion, work to be done, and she won't let a pretty face distract her for long. She spots the Winchesters outside and motions an arm for Anna to get up and follow.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. C'mon, let's go see if those idiots are ready yet," she shrugs, already headed out the door.
