Let’s be honest here: if Dean had access to his powers, there’d have been a wonderful wave of tentacles inside the room with the two women, and not just his piecemeal awareness. Dean wasn’t much of a watcher, per se, but he’d have to take what he could while both he and Donovan were more-or-less powerless.<br/><br/>“Big shield eh?” Dean murmured absently. “Serves you right. Probably a good call though. I was gonna be infested, devoured even. Maybe nothing left after that. Sad times, Knight, sad times.” He nodded, dark hair moving to frame those chiseled features of his, his pupils constricted to pin-points in the dark as his attention was captivated by sights he hadn’t enjoyed for quite a while. At least a few days.<br/><br/>“You know,” Dean continued a few minutes later, “This ship has both of us in it. The Greater Shadow was basically intelligent fuel, at least until it realized what I was doing. I might have funneled more effort into making the ship what it is than you – consciously – but it’s still got bits of you in it. We’re the same person, in some ways. Well, twin souls linked by your Glory. It would make sense if your projected power got…well, eaten a bit by the ship. As fuel. Since, you know, I was using my power that way and the ship was shaped by how I was guiding that nightmare. If that’s the case, I’d think you might be able to…reach out and kind of withdraw some of that back into you. Possibly all of it, though I doubt it. It’s a hungry ship. You might just have to wait for it to naturally regenerate though. In which case, who knows how long we’re stuck here. My powers are limited by yours, after all.” It went without saying that if Dean were still alive, Donovan’s Glory wasn’t entirely gone. Just exhausted.<br/><br/>“Now, shut up and let me watch this!” To his credit, Dean did try – just a little – to get his wrists free. He was a shapeshifter, so he should have been able to alter his bones and size with a little effort. But even that ability was currently unavailable, presumably melded with the ship for the time being.<br/>
