"I might have changed tactics at the very least." Castiel smile grows a little as he hands the drink back to Gabriel. Gabriel is correct, of course. If he'd kept pushing for the apocalypse, Castiel would have kept fighting him, but in the end, he'd helped them.

Gabriel had died helping them and that had won a certain sense of admiration from Castiel. There was at least a hint of loyalty there now that would never have been there before. Castiel had trusted the wrong people a few times, but he didn't think Gabriel would betray him, at least not over anything they would encounter here.
