"I know Castiel is hoping to get more answers about that creature and where it came from." Meaning what it was, what god it represented, etc. Istredd has no idea what, although he knows others are on top of it. Castiel got in touch with people from Solvunn, side-stepping his own brother Michael to do it. It's best not to get involved with the angels and their nonsense, in his experience.

Speaking of.

Istredd pauses at the question because it has a complicated answer. And also because he's trying not to smile like the besotted idiot he's become since they became official. Something they haven't necessarily said since everyone already assumed they were a couple. "Better. I finally got him to sleep and eat. He hates having to do any human-adjacent things." He can last without them longer, but it's unhealthy for him.

Istredd glances over to him, considering. "Is there something you're concerned about?"
