His steady gaze is there to meet the dark eyes when they turn his way again, unyielding in either direction. He does not retreat, he does not advance. There is no threat in Dean Winchester for the Marquis de Carabas. Not truly. Not while he knows himself.
His mouth quirks, his skin hot with a kind of embarrassment that won't allow him to repeat himself or make anything like a habit of what he's just done, what he's just said; but Dean is the realization of conviction if he is anything, and he stands by it.
And he laughs. It's easier than letting the mirror be reflected back on him, when he sees none of that in himself. It's easier to take the barb at face value - he is a bastard, too, by nature and by design - and so he does, despite what his knowledge of the Marquis may try to suggest lies just below the surface of such a remark.]
Now the truth comes out. You came here to get a few more jabs in for the road.
Well, c'mon then, sunshine. Let's have it. [His fist closes around the amulet. He continues to the fridge.]
