[ John was already certain that this was bad. Still, hearing Lucifer's name earns a long inhale through his nose and a twitch of his mouth as he looks down away from Raleigh and into his glass. He had his own run-in with that one wearing Sam.
He takes a sip, nodding as the other man explains and looks back up. Bury it, Johnny. Time to work. ]
Ran into that one myself.
[ And he's got a bit of experience with the way the ghosts around here work in regards to first deaths. He studied his own long enough after his first time. The way Raleigh talks about it, though---it twists in his gut in an unsettling sort of way.
John knows how things like this in his own world work and how demons like to run amok in memories and all, dragging up the worst bits they can. He gets the feeling that Raleigh is mentioning something that he's only heard Herc talk about once in a while. When he told him that being possessed by Neron was the closest he got to drifting since he was back home and how rotten it was.
Then the other man mentions a brother and that must be who he's talking about having lost before. Having experienced the death of. Damn. ]
Get a little more of that in you, old son. [ He gestures to Raleigh's glass with the one that holds his own. ] I can help but it won't be easy. It requires an, ah, trip of a different kind with both of us. We go in, you show me, some fancy words and should be sorted.
Shouldn't take long but it might feel like it does. Probably be winded after, so I can help get you back home too. [ Beat. ] Unless you'd rather me call someone for you.
