[Cora doesn't pull her punches, does she? Adam can't say he disagrees with the sentiment. A good monster is a dead monster in his books.]
You think they have nine lives like the rest of us?
[Because having a Mirror come back from the dead in a pissy mood sounds like a good way to start a turf war. Who knows, maybe Cora's Mirror is as soft-spoken and sweet as they come...]
I'm not arguing, but that story's one especially.
[As much as he might claim he's not a part of Sam and Dean's profession, and as much as he doesn't want to be, the fact remains that it was partly thanks to them knowing what kind of assholes angels really are and their intervention that he'd seen the truth about Michael's plan. Not enough to save him, but enough for him to realize his mistakes.
To him, a hunter is at the bare minimum someone who's aware of the supernatural and smart enough to have an idea of what to do about it. What's that saying, "knowing is half the battle"? That's a philosophy Adam could learn to live by if he had the chance.]
The idea of them having one life and one life only sounds too good to be true. Why not double it so they have ten lives to our five?
[ this little ray of sunshine. perhaps her mirror really is her literal opposite — all about rainbows and puppies and positivity and excessively using exclamation points! it sounds a little too simple and idealistic for the mirrors to only have one chance at living. there's always a catch — one cora's none too keen to find out any time in the near future. ]
Sounds like a dream. Remind me not to ask you to tell me it. I bet the reality is bad enough.
[ having to see the goons every day — or, possibly, once a month. while cora's gone six years without seeing one familiar face, she knows, sometimes, if it's particularly rough, six years is a blessing in disguise. maybe adam deserves her unlucky luck with that. ]
If you ever want to get rid of the migraine. It's not like I know them.
Unless they die for real, getting rid of them will just piss them off.
[Adam's ray of sunshine is slightly more pragmatic. He doesn't have werewolf healing or Hale confidence to go around picking fights with every creature he meets.]
Yeah, it is. That's why you're better off not knowing.
[Cora sounds like she's offering a listening ear while not wanting to hear the whole whale of a tale, and Adam can't blame anyone for that. Once you know, you can't unknow. If he could scrub his mind of every damning thing he's learned about life, and family, and monsters, he would.]
