The bad news is....well, there's an angel in the bar.
Castiel had himself been relieved to duck into Milliways. Sometimes he worries that Zachariah will start to see the number of secrets he's been keeping.
For the moment, he only regards Dean from a distance. Their last conversation here hadn't gone that well.

Great.
And he thought this day couldn't get any worse.
If he believed in God, he'd be cussing up a --
Strike that.
Though trying this hard not to look at the fucking angel in the trench coat is gonna start getting noticeable real soon.

He has been chosen by God. He'll have to get used to Castiel's presence (in and out of Milliways) sooner or later.
"Good evening, Dean."
"You seem somewhat worse for wear."

Shoot him now.
"Yeah, no."
Thank G --
Thank someone for that.

She's at the Bar, sipping a whiskey. At least, that's what she was doing. Currently, she's eying Dean over the rim of her glass, and one might get the impression that it's doing a good job of hiding a remarkably amused smile.

Maybe when Creepy McJingles is somewhere else.
Who knows?
