"Oh. I know who you are, Dean," Ryuk said, ominously. It was that or laugh at the guy and ask why he thought he was so damn important, but...well, going along with it seemed more fun now. "All my kind knows your name." He coulda upped it and tired to guess a loved one but, well, you just couldn't tell with humans these days. Kid oughta be married and settled and whatever like they used to be, but, well, the lived longer these days. Some on them.

Not this one. And he wanted to know what else Ryuk could do. Huh.

"No crystal balls involved," he shrugged. "I could helped you, actually but it ain't worth it, knowing what I know. Which is something you probably don't wanna know."

A part of Ryuk was begging Dean to ask. He wanted to see if it was true that humans went crazy once they learned when their time was up. Not that Shinigami were really supposed to go around telling but, well, whatever. Nothing was right here anyway so screw the rules and good manners.
