Raphael stops. Just stills. It's almost like seeing someone freeze framed while everything else moves around them. 'You should come with me.' It's the first time in...he doesn't know how long that anyone other than Michael had wanted Raphael at their side. Finally his head cocks to the side, much more movement than anyone normally gets out of him.

"I can't." It's not argumentative. "I can't abandon them just because others have abandoned us." He didn't mean Balthazar. He meant God, Lucifer, and Gabriel. "Running Heaven would kill Castiel. Or worse. And I can't betray Michael in that way."
