[It's true -- Raphael could simply tear it out again, if she so chose. And Tom isn't entirely bothered with that whatsoever -- but Tom, during his time spent in Raphael's body, knows something that he sorely doubts the other angels have been told. And as a result -- well. Empathy is a freakishly disturbing thing, when applied improperly.
Luckily, Tom is incapable of it.
Tom arches his eyebrows.]
You can feel free to try, if you so choose, but I can perform magic without my wand, and I have absolutely no intention of it leaving my hands.
[Castiel can take that however he wishes. His power and prowess has been released to the public, however slightly, and it took both Morgana and Severus to trap him into not attacking -- and even then, it had been a massive battle for the ages. Castiel, while mortal, could not stand a chance. And if he wishes to endanger his friends by doing something stupid, then be his guest -- Tom has no problems in unleashing his full power if it is in self-defense.
Murder can be an accident. How unfortunate.
And then, a pause.]
But I don't see why you would rather make this entire affair difficult when I am all but offering to eradicate a problem for you.
[Tom presses his fingers to his lips in thought, eyes still unblinking, as he watches the angel carefully.]
Aren't you tired of having your friends protect you instead of other way around? Especially from her, of all people? She's nothing more than an arrogant gnat on a wall that needs to be swatted -- I have the means to do so, if you lend your knowledge.
I am proposing a partnership. No more, and no less. Your Grace is simply insurance, which I'm certain you can't blame me for -- I have little to no interest in dying in an attempt to get my wand back from her fingertips. It is useless to her, just as your Grace is useless to me, save for making you the angel that you should be.
