Cas listens to the soft rustle of fabric and metallic clang of daggers, swords and belt buckles hitting the ground, then the chair. She's accepted the invitation for care a little for herself, and Castiel's happy for it, some extra pocket of tension he didn't realize he'd been holding smoothing out.
He keeps his eyes closed as she sinks in, understanding and anticipating Jo's desire for modesty, even if it doesn't fully compute with him after the hot springs encounter. However, the tub is a tight space, and as she slips into the water, her naked leg runs against Castiel's bare thigh.
His currently mostly human body reacts involuntarily, an excited prickling spreading across his skin that Cas swallows back against. Human physiology takes so much out of his immediate control, and while it'd been fascinating back home, it's becoming awkward and inconvenient here.
"Thank you." Cas clears his throat, shifts away to break the contact between them, and finally blinks over to her when she's fully settled. "This remedy shouldn't be wasted on me alone when our supply is limited. How do you feel?"
