The Scales on His Eyes

"The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales" - Aesop

Dean disconnected the call with an eye-roll and a snort of annoyance. "Sheesh, does Bobby like to nag," complained Dean.

"Yeah?" offered Sam, distantly, already engrossed in the research for their next job.

"Yeah," repeated Dean, seemingly focused on any opening for a rant. "He kept on about not getting bitten by that eye-kidney lizard-woman thing."

"Echidna," corrected Sam, automatically, "and... well, you did get pretty beat up."

"Well, I ganked the whatever she's called, so what's it matter?" Dean grumbled, absentmindedly scratching at the scales starting to form on the back of his neck that he hadn't yet noticed.
