"I see," it's all he can manage at the moment, as he studies Castiel. He seems a bit more... worn than he did before things went to hell.

He huffs out a sigh. "Well, there goes that theory, then. I'm almost afraid to ask what you've been up to the last few years."

[dirtytrenchcoat]

"That's not really something I have the energy to answer right now." A lot had happened in three years, and most of it Balthazar wouldn't be comfortable with. Not after what happened between them after all the help, he'd given. He truly was tired, worn thin, and frayed at the edges and very few people had the acuity to take note of it.

[badpuns]

"Probably just as well," he shrugs. He doesn't want to know. He tells himself he doesn't care, although of course he does, because it's Castiel, and he can't help caring about what happens to Cas.

"Just. Just tell me you didn't blow up the world, Cas. Or yourself."

[dirtytrenchcoat]

The fact that Balthazar is trying to be cordial only makes this worse for him. They should be fighting, his brother should be furious, but he isn't. That only serves to make it that much more clear that Balthazar always did have the better head on his shoulder.

"The world is still intact. For now." Who knew what the future held, it's not a thread, more of an exasperated declaration. He's saved it more times than he could count and he's also been responsible for putting it in danger. It's all very tiring.

[badpuns]

Balthazar is furious and frightened and frustrated all at the same time. He just masks it well, because he has to. Still, he's so painfully aware that Cas shouldn't be here, and honestly, he's not ready yet to share the space with him. It's just that... There's nothing he can really do about it except suck it up and deal with it.

"That's something, at least."

[dirtytrenchcoat]

If Castiel knew about the fear and the frustration he'd feel worse, if that were even possible. Looking at his old companion now all he feels is guilt, crippling guilt, and another feeling he can't quite explain.

When the silence grows too uncomfortable, Castiel sweeps his hand across the back of his neck where hair is still standing on end. "I should go." This was inappropriate, and Balthazar seeming much more acclimated was clearly here first. There's no reason for him to make things worse for him.

[badpuns]

Balthazar will keep it all hidden as much as he possibly can. Protecting Castiel is something he still can't help, despite everything between them. Besides, even if no apologies are offered, he can tell he isn't the only one woefully uncomfortable with this situation. That helps make up for it a little.

They hold each others' gaze for far too long to be comfortable, and Balthazar looks away as Cas runs his hand over the back of his neck. "No, no - you stay. I'll go. I need a drink, and what they have at this party isn't nearly strong enough for my tastes."

He pauses, licking his lips as he debates if there's something else he has to say to his old friend. "Castiel," he thinks maybe, he should tell him that they can fix things eventually. It hasn't been that long - he still needs a bit more time to sort through it all. No. He doesn't want to burden Cas with the knowledge that it's only been about a month since his arrival in Medietas, and he arrived directly after his death. So instead he finishes off lamely with, "Gabriel's here, too."
