[Great, now they're making a scene. Michael looks back at them both with a don't make me turn this car around sort of frown. He can't take you two anywhere.
It's Michael's turn to reach over, now, putting a firm hand on Castiel's shoulder and shoving a bit of energy into him. Rather than anything from home it's Abraxan magic, a little parting gift from Koth, but Castiel doesn't need to know the details. It's also a paltry amount of vitality—maybe the lifeforce of a small orange—but it should stop him from keeling over before the end of the ceremony and embarrassing the name of angels everywhere.
Any more so than he already has, anyway.]
I mean less than twelve. [It's not what's being asked, but it's the only answer he has.] Perhaps if I hadn't been in Hell, I could give you a better explanation.
[Or, you know, could have prevented it. As to why he hadn't gone back to clean up his little siblings' collective mess—]
Do I strike you as the sort of person who makes decisions based on emotion? By that point, my presence would have made no difference.
[Sure, he might have kept them afloat a little while longer, but it would've been like trying to bail out the Titanic with a single bucket.]
