"Same, but don't throw up on me." Cas untangled himself from Nick, sighing.

“I’ll do my best not to,” Nick responded, trying for humor but it didn’t come off as he wanted it to with his roiling stomach.
Cas nodded, struggling to sit up with his hands bound as they were. "We gotta try to get these off… it makes cuddling pretty hard."
Nick frowned in agreement. “They’re too tight to wriggle out of, is there anything sharp we can use to cut them?”
"Not sure." Cas looked around their cell for something that might help, but he didn't immediately see anything.
Nick looked around as well, not finding anything. “I’ve never had my wrists tied together before, so I’m a bit out of ideas here,” he sighed.
Cas shrugged. "Me either. Are there any nails sticking out of the wall or anything?"
Nick studied the cell again, eyes narrowing. “Over there in the corner!” he exclaimed, glancing at the boy guarding them. He seemed to be taking a nap.
"Well, I dunno if I can reach it, but maybe you could try and get yours off and then help me with mine?" He suggested.
“Okay, I’ll do my best,” Nick replied, pushing himself off the bed and walking over, trying his best to cut off the ropes.
Cas watched him from the wooden 'bed' to see whether it would work.
Nick managed to weaken the bonds quite a bit before he cut his wrist. “It sort of worked…?” He turned to Cas with a sheepish sort of smile.
Cas sighed. "Maybe you could get out now that they're weaker?"
Nick nodded, wriggling his hands without much success at first. After several minutes, his hands were finally free. “Ha-ha!” he exclaimed.
"Nice!" Cas grinned and held his hands out to Nick. "D'you think you could untie me?"
“Ummm…I can try,” Nick mumbled, walking over to Cas. His wrist was bleeding a little.
"You good?" Cas glanced at Nick's wrist, but didn't withdraw his hands.
Nick glanced down, noticing the bleeding. It stung a bit, but he ignored it. “Yeah,” he replied. He untied Cas’s hands fairly quickly compared to how long it took him to untie his own.
Cas rubbed his own wrists when they were free. "You sure?"
Nick nodded stubbornly. “Yes, it’s fine,” he replied. “Though I suppose having a way to stop the bleeding would be nice.” He was looking for something they could use.
"Hold it against your shirt?" He shrugged. "We don't have a whole lot of options at the moment."
Nick nodded. “That’s probably as good a solution as we can get,” he agreed, holding his hand against his shirt.
Cas sighed and lay back down on the cot. "Wonder if they've sent the message yet?"
"I really hope so, but I'm sure if they don't Jane will try to guide them toward it or something," Nick replied, worried. "I just hope that Jane doesn't do anything stupid."
Cas nodded. "Me too… How old did you say she is?"
