[ which is exactly why cas isn't mentioning them, or any of the unfinished business that's waiting back home for them. dean isn't a fool, he hasn't spontaneously forgotten their friends. this man has been so singularly driven by purpose and duty, relentlessly putting the greater good and what needs to be done before himself. like hell cas is about to rob him of a respite.
besides that, a selfish part of cas thrills at the prospect. the handful of hours he spent leisurely exploring a new city with dean, no pressing mission, no watching their backs, had been a dream. seeing him relaxed, in no hurry, just time with dean experiencing a new city together. it left cas in a happy glow on the train ride home, lulled to sleep by the rocking of the car and the warmth against his side, and castiel still hasn't gotten the flicker of dean's eyelashes and vibrant green of his irises so so close out of his head. the world can wait. dean winchester deserves a damn vacation, maybe a few of them. ]
Beijing was pleasant. I enjoyed Beijing.
[ understatement, but shh. ]
A vacation, yeah, that'd be nice. It's within our means. New Honolulu must be lovely this time of year. New Oslo's only 3 hours away by train.
[ somewhere on a sidewalk not far from the apartment is castiel, smiling like a dope, because this trip sounds absolutely wonderful. sue him, he's excited. ]
Ideal. Have you ever been sailing? Or kayaking. Surfing, maybe. Do you think the coral reefs survived ecological disaster in this world?
[ aaand it'll never happen. soul crushing :( . you owe him a honolulu date when they get back, dean. ]
Unfortunately dad's trust fund wasn't enough to cover a yacht, so no no sailing no kayaking no surfing
I HAVE been tubing, and let me tell you, that is like the ideal vacation activity you just sit in an inner tube and float down a river getting drunk off a cooler of beer that's also floating down a river. That's it, that's the whole day

So the purpose is getting intoxicated and allowing a river to take you where it will.
Have many people died doing this?
[ because drunk people and water don't seem like a good mix, but what does he know. ]
All the same, it does sound relaxing.

The river corpses aren't the point, the party bus doesn't make stops for darwinism

The party bus wouldn't fair well submerged either.
