[Look who has got over his reservation over your 'video function' and is expressing himself via the medium of moving pictures? Watson -- no, no. The other Watson -- with the moustache? Yeah, him. He looks pretty pleased with himself.]

If you're anything like the man I know, Mr. Sherlock Holmes -- and I rather think you are -- then there is nothing you enjoy more than a good dissection. Well, have I got the present for you.

[Look! Watson's been collecting bits of ice-faerie. None are whole, unfortunately, but there's enough identifiable pieces to do an ... autopsy.]

I'll be bringing these over to -- it's Odin, isn't it? Watson, is, of course, welcome to attend. As is anyone with an interest in figuring these things out.

There is a distinct difference between the ice the creatures are constructed of and ice formed naturally in the refrigerator over there. It is heavier and takes longer to melt. I'd say it seems to be denser though how we're going to explain that beats me.

[smartwinchester]

Is it magically fortified?

[the_good_doctor]

Magically --

How would you tell?

[smartwinchester]

Well, the fact that it doesn't melt quickly when fire is applied to it is a pretty great indicator that something is holding it together.

[the_good_doctor]

And that something is magic.

Perhaps it's just as well Holmes isn't here.

[smartwinchester]

Not a magic believer?

[the_good_doctor]

He'd have to be once here -- I don't see any rational alternative.

But he likes to understand things.

[smartwinchester]

Some things aren't really meant to be understood.

[Sam is one of those kinds of people too -- someone who needs to get it. But some things... you just don't get.]

[the_good_doctor]

[Watson nods slowly, thinking back over some of the experiences of his arm years. You didn't ask why some men survived, some didn't -- and that was without even going into the man who predicted his own death down to the placement of the bullets who killed him. Holmes would scoff, of course, but --

Holmes wasn't there.]

You might well be right.

[smartwinchester]

Once you see angels from Heaven, you kind of suspend your disbelief for everything.

[the_good_doctor]

Angels from heaven.

[smartwinchester]

Yeah, spoiler alert, they're real.

[Absently, as Sam nudges around a block of ice.]

They don't have halos or fluffy wings and they most definitely don't sit on your shoulder and cater to your every want and need unless you ask nicely. Or feed them, feeding them usually works... do we have a blowtorch?

[the_good_doctor]

Real.

[Give Watson a moment, Sam. He's not got used to his worldview being casually punctured yet, but he's learning fast.]

A blowtorch? If it's flame you want, Singer and myself have been using the stove.
