[Castiel can hear the way that Dean pulls in a breath and then releases it through the phone's receiver, and he can only guess that it's relief. Maybe Dean thought that Castiel would want nothing to do with him after everything that happened, but if that's the case, then Dean should really know better.
He could mention that Dean had the option to contact him any time in the past three weeks, but had chosen not to. He isn't bitter, though. Dean had a lot thrown into his lap after being cured, a lot of crimes that now laid on his shoulders. Castiel himself is still struggling with the guilt of not curing Dean sooner, but at least he has the chance to apologize for that now.
It has been a long time since they've spoken. That thing that had walked around calling itself Dean for a few months didn't truly count.
The dock is a place where they've had a number of important conversations, so it strikes Castiel as oddly appropriate.]
I can come by, yes.
[He waits for actual confirmation before spreading his wings, however. Right now, it seems best to handle everything gently.]
[ cas seems to get what he's going for here, and instead of making him say it, all dean has to do is nod and breathe out a few more words. ]
Okay, great-- yeah. I'll be here.
[ take your time, he wants to add but dean is too quick to turn off the feed with that... either out of need to make sure cas won't back out, or perhaps to keep himself quiet. either way, he'll be waiting on the dock. ]
should we make a log now?
