Raphael actually blinked slowly at Castiel. "Most - the vast majority - don't. They are following you because God raised you. Because they think you have answers. They have no understanding of what free will is."

He didn't yet know Balthazar had run off - in his experience, those who had run off where cowards or had questioned too much, been crushed under the weight of doubt. "No, I wasn't going to let you leave. Heaven forbid I prefer my brothers in Heaven where they belong."

Raphael could point out everything that was wrong with Castiel leaving. "Leaving was a mistake Castiel." Instead he left it there.
