It's sweet that she thinks Gabriel wouldn't mess her up if he wanted to, and Dean can't hide that in the look he gives her. He knows Gabriel can be loyal when he wants, to his family or to Kali or whatever, but he's less inclined to be sympathetic to him right now. He believes more in his vicious streak.

Are they friends? Dean doesn't... He has some friends now, he guesses, but he doesn't like, hang out with them. He looks away at her question, tapping his finger on his plans.

"We bonded when you punched me and I slammed you into a wall?" He lifts his eyes and flashes her a smile. Guarded, closed off, emotionally constipated... Yup.

"Hey, I'll put your name on one of the tables. How's that? Your own plaque." Friendship, in Winchester terms.
