Castiel, you're a person. You have a mind and you can think and that's enough for me. Hammers don't have that, and if a computer does, you call it artificial intelligence. I've been nice to Winter and want to help her even if all she is right now is a backup of her memories from when she was a strong AI. You really think I'm going to let you argue me into treating you like you're something less?
I mean, look who you're talking to. I'm one step up from an NPC, and I've been there with being treated shitty about it. The reasons were different than with you, but it still fucking hurt. If you're not going to call me less of a person because part of me is programmed...
[His tone wavers.]
God, I really hope you don't. I don't want round two of that.
[And a little stronger:]
... But if you're not going to treat me as lesser just for that, then I'm not doing the same to you. And if you start now, it'll just make you a dick.
