"I never said we trust him," It's bitten out incredulously. He doesn't have much to say about the hugging, that was a fight from another time, a fight with a Cas who hadn't been through all the shit they'd been through together yet. It was in the past, and it was... well, it was admittedly weird, but whatever. He's focusing on the issue at hand. "You think I'm brain damaged? I'm just saying we use him."

Which... admittedly does sound a hell of a lot more like the Crowley situation there, but without the sneaking and the making stupid decisions with stupid consequences. "And when we do break out of here, he's getting shot back into the pit with Michael, so it's no harm no foul. Trust me, I'm not interested in being bunk buddies with the guy."

Some of the aggression in his tone eases back down to something calmer, something level and serious.
