The grip loosens, and Castiel gives a rattling exhale, feels as if he's able to breathe a bit easier but he's still only barely restraining his terror.
Monsters, of course, are well known tales, and Castiel has grown up on stories of vampires and werewolves, banshees and ghosts and demons, though of course, like any other, he had never thought them to be real, to exist, but even though he cannot make out the features of this creature, it's clear enough that it is far from human. That's.. fascinating, in a way, and were his life not in immediate danger he thinks he would be curious, enthralled, but he can think of only the sharp claws at his throat, and the state of his poor father, sick and freezing in the cell just behind them. Quickly, Castiel's eyes flicker toward the bars, where he can just make out his father's face in the slanting light, and Castiel swallows thickly, then raises his eyes to the beast's face.
"Please.." he says, a little more softly, his grasp on the creature's grasp loosening, though he flinches at the roar that all but rattles his eardrums. "Please release him, he won't harm you. He's.. he's very sick, and he's needed at home-"
