[ Decisiveness has been Geralt's greatest strength and failure. When he makes a choice, he follows through—and almost nothing can draw him back. It means he never hesitates, but it also means, for better or for worse, that he's near-impossible to dissuade.
It doesn't matter who's calling for him. It does not matter that he can see the change overcome Dean—a look in his eyes that Geralt can't decipher. (His heart aches.) He will not allow the demon to take Ciri. Until it's stopped, she will not be safe.
Only the blazing light snaps his head around. He glances up a split second before he's launched through the air—body twisting on instinct. It's a fall that would snap a few bones were he human. He is not. He lands on his side, shoulder absorbing the impact, rolling with it onto his hands and knees. Sword lost in the sand, he snatches the dagger from his boot.
He's the one who informed them that Dean's here. Though he does not regret it—it was impossible to gauge how his battle with the demon would turn out—he understands full well where their priorities lie.
And it is not with Ciri.
He rises to his feet. His fight isn't with Castiel. Not unless the angel forces it so. The last thing he needs is a distraction that lets Dean reach her. ]
