[ Gabriel rummages in his pockets for a candy bar and does a quick but obvious scan of their surroundings. There's no immediate disaster visible, but Cas is the smoke to Winchester fire and where there's Winchesters there's always some sort of disaster.
He also gives Cas the hairy eyeball over that polite greeting. ]
I seriously can't tell if you're being sincere when you say things like that with a straight face. You should be in Vegas, kid.
[ Castiel notes the glance around and drops his head in a subtle expression of understanding. Ah, yes. Even after Gabriel's display of heroism, he still has good reason to keep an eye out for the Winchesters. Particularly of the one from the future, who is more of the 'shoot first ask questions later' type than his own and Dean has a hair trigger temper to begin with.
When he lifts his head again, his brows are raised and he squints at him again. ]
My... gratitude is sincere. I want to thank you for what you did the other day.
[ Castiel doesn't respond to that. Like with Dean, he often faces such statements with either a calm and distant interest, or equally vague confusion. This time, he's more of the former. ]
In any case, you... risked incurring his wrath. Thank you.
Well, I was sitting right there when he started talking about racking up collateral damage. Hard to have a nice quiet drink with the building burning down around you.
[ That's not why at all, but shameless self-preservation is always an easy and defensible motive. ]
[ Gabriel is pretty much the best example of an angel who has learned to adapt human behavior. Cas could learn a lot from him if he had the incentive to. ]
I see. Then I suppose seeking your help in trapping Lucifer is out of the question.
[ This wasn't his idea, and not something he wants to ask. He just has to. ]
Because he won't leave Sam alone.
[ Castiel looks up at Gabriel from where he sits and tries, needs him to understand. Avoiding Lucifer isn't an option anymore. There isn't an escape. ]

I also believe that he would do anything to have Sam say yes.
[ Castiel gets to his feet, taking a few steps toward the archangel. ]
...I need to know if I can count on your help a second time, Gabriel.
