It would be impossible for Castiel to fully get used to the feeling of silent solitude since arriving, but he's come close enough. The last few days of adjusting were spent listening, watching and investigating, checking the city's boundaries for sigils, markings, traps; anything that might be able to hold an angel, and more importantly might be

This time, Dean is neither eating or laying on a couch, but actually showing that he's doing something somewhat productive. He's gone as far as he can to edge of the city, and is trying to figure out how to get past the barrier with absolutely no luck.

When Castiel speaks up, Dean glances at his tablet, and snorts.

"Trying to get along with the simple townsfolk, Cas?"

Castiel raises an eyebrow at Dean.

"It would be preferable over making enemies."

[fudgingkillyou]

"True. I'm sure you'll win them over with that friendly tone you've got."

[caelitus]

It might be annoyance in his expression, but that's all the response he gets. He's trying, okay?

"Found this barrier, and I can't get through it. You think you can?"

Castiel's eyes wander over the barrier.

"The only thing I can say for certain is that neither angels nor demons have anything to do with this."

[fudgingkillyou]

"I'd take that as good news, actually." Dean replies. "There's no Apocalypse here."

[caelitus]

Castiel nods, then unconsciously decides to up the optimism: "For now."

[fudgingkillyou]

"... For now?" Dean repeats, raising an eyebrow. "Aren't you the cheerful one."
