[…Balthazar could only assume that was a while before he was killed.

Well.

He wasn’t sure what to do, how to react. He couldn’t just say it—oh hey, it’s no big deal man you just murdered me it’s all good. That would go over like peaches and cream. Not.

He’d play it cool. After all, Cas didn’t need to know what happened. Hopefully it would never come up. He didn’t want to have to tell him such a thing, after all. What wonderful news it would be. Castiel wouldn’t take well to it—the realization that he’d killed his friend.

He forced a hopefully convincing grin.]

Well, then, we might as well enjoy our stay.

After all, this place is practically a vacation. No powers, no Raphael, all smooth sailing from here. Might as well make the best of it, eh?

It’s not a vacation, Balthazar! It’s an encumbrance that will do less good than bad. I need to go back. I need to get those souls and put an end to Raphael. If I’m not there… who knows what Raphael will do. Dean and Sam didn’t seem too eager to want to deal with… …

[ Cas trailed off. He was tense, and increasingly becoming frustrated. Balthazar’s oh-awesome-let’s-do-whatever attitude wasn’t helping. Cas wished that Balthazar would be more enthusiastic on leaving, not staying. ]

I can’t trust them to take care of the war in Heaven while I’m stuck here.
