[ becoming more or less functionally human has taught cas a great many things. living as a mortal, seeing the world through their eyes, from their perspective.. it's really an entirely alien thing, and only a few years ago, he and dean had been such enormously different creatures that it's really a wonder they became friends and allies at all, and that cas has been able to really come to grips with what it means to be human.
so it's easy for him to answer this way, with a wry sort of smile twisting his mouth. ]
I'm pretty sure no one really knows what they need.
[ heaven knows cas sure doesn't. knows what he wants, sure, but what you want and what you need are not the same things, not mutually exclusive. what cas needs.. damn, he can't even begin to wonder what it might be. probably a good long rest. who knows. he shrugs, nudging dean's shoulder with his own, trying to keep things light. ]
