[ The lingering silence is less tense than the previous one. More reflective. If there's one thing Geralt can trust, it's that Castiel is as blunt as he is—if not more so—and that makes the situation less fraught. Geralt does not like to pretend for anyone's sake. It's simpler when the other person neither expects nor wishes him to do so.
Regrets will only take them so far. He knows better than to let them consume. And though he isn't quite sure where he and Castiel stand—or where he wants them to stand—they have more in common than they don't.
He can't blame Castiel for not containing Dean sooner. Geralt had allowed it, as well. They were both lacking information that didn't arrive until the final hour.
In the end, he only nods, accepting the apology for what it is. ] Let's hope we don't find ourselves there again.
[ Dean turning into a fucking demon and making off with his daughter is a...unique circumstance. So. Ideally, they will not need to face those choices a second time.
He shoulders his supplies, pushing open the door. He casts a glance back at Castiel, then exits without further comment. ]
