[ For a moment all that's heard is some grunting and probably a few obscene curses. He's still trying to figure the phone out, but that's because he's not familiar with it. Technology isn't Benny's strong suit in the slightest. He had a flip phone when him and Dean were talking, but he ditched that a long time ago. Getting anything fancier never really appealed to Benny. No need. This thing wasn't what he wanted to be shackled to at all.

Suddenly a fuzzy beard appears in frame and it's clearly speckled with spots of gray. There are a few more grunts as Benny finally arrives at the conclusion that this isn't just your run of the mill phone. Then again the only phones he's familiar with are the flip ones. This one's in a whole different league and dammit if it's not pissing him off.

He clears his throat quickly and finally becomes a little more visible on the screen. When he found this damn thing in his pocket he didn't know what to expect, but maybe he could get a hold of someone who could help him out. ] I don't think this damned thing is even workin', but if anyone's out there I could sure use a nudge in the right direction. A state would greatly appreciated. This house don't look too comfortin' and I'm itchin' to get the hell outta dodge.

I have very little reason to go about killing people willy-nilly, Benny,

[Evelyn sniffs, feeling affronted by the very suggestion. The way she acts, you'd think casual murder was a ridiculous subject. And it is. Because she said so.

So there.]

Let alone gentlemen I just met. Has anyone told you how things work here?

Sweetheart, I've seen men and women kill for no reason at all. Sometimes they do it just because they like it. [ He bows his head for a moment and swallows hard. He finally looks at the device and nods. ] I've done it for less.

[ Casual murder ain't that ridiculous when you're from Benny's world. Sometimes it's what has to be done and sometimes you don't know no better. When he was living and working alongside the Old Man Benny didn't know any other way to live. It was meeting Andrea that taught him to love and appreciate humanity after being separated from it for so long.

Benny's learning lots of things about this place, but he's not gonna pass up a little tutorial from anyone. He'd rather be over-prepared than under when it comes to this place. ] Any bit of info you wanna offer would be real nice.

[Ah, so he's that sort of person. Similar to her husband in many regards, then. Rick doesn't enjoy killing, by any means, but when his hand is forced or his family is threatened, she knows full well that he'll stop at nothing.

It used to be different, but that's a conversation for another day and isn't tempered by a near-decade of marital bliss.

Pointedly, Evelyn doesn't address the subject of homicide.]

How much have you been told thus far?

[ Killing used to be fun for Benny. These days it just makes him think of Andrea of Elizabeth. It comes natural to a monster like him and it's pretty much second nature, but he's got to fight to keep that buried. It takes a lot of work for Benny to stay on the right path. He's hoping that with Dean here took he keep himself on the straight and narrow.

Benny's got to stop and think for a moment when she asks what exactly he knows. A little bit of this and a little bit of that, but having multiple sources never hurt a damn thing. ] Off with your head, Wonderland, mirrors and somethin' about dyin' five times. That ain't good considering I got two deaths already under my belt. I'm hopin' they don't transfer.
