Trusting leads to nowhere better.

[People he'd loved and trusted had betrayed him too many times. He won't take the risk with his own life, let alone with with one of the Winchesters.

Of course, that was what he consciously, logically believed and decided on. His actions were a different story at times, and in his months at the Port he'd taken several great leaps of faith in people, including Chuck himself.]

[He's quiet as Chuck says he's worried about him; it's both annoying and oddly nice to hear at the same time. Chuck, Mary, Michael, and Crowley of all people had been the only ones to show him much of true concern in his time here. That fact, combined with Chuck's next statement, is an uncomfortable jolt that puts into words things Castiel had been noticing. Sam hadn't been acting like Sam, not totally, for some time. But it was still him.]

I know.

[He isn't entirely certain he means to speak, but he does.]

Then you know what I'm talking about.

[Quieter, now. Gentler. Less aggressive and letting Cas come to him, so to speak.]

Do you know how addiction works? [You will, he wants to scream.] He might not exactly be able to... make rational decisions here.

[The change in tone of the conversation settles Castiel a little, enough so that he responds quietly and honestly.]

I'm not certain.

[He has seen Sam's behavior in regards to blood before, of course, but he knows little about addiction outside of that.]

[Chuck further softens everything by picking up his beef and broccoli and becoming seemingly distracted by it, trying to de-serious things a little. Let Cas settle more.]

It's a dependency. Depending on how bad it is, he might react, you know- irrationally. Like... if someone asked him to give up food or oxygen.

It clouds your ability to know right and wrong.

[The tension is exhausting, so he takes the opportunity as presented, not feeling so trapped and interrogated any more.]

He has done nothing threatening toward me since this began.

[He knows that could change, but right now, even with the changes that are going on with Sam, it's like having his friend back again. He's at ease around the hunter once more, because Sam has done nothing to him even with the added volatility of the blood.]

For your sake... I really hope that doesn't change.
