Dean's offer is a transparent plight to escape, and Castiel is tired of being underestimated. He levels Dean a long, frustrated stare. ]
And I imagine you'd like me to untie your hands to do it.
[ Twelve hours in a car, relatively unmoving, with his shoulder aching like it is will be unpleasant, but Castiel has endured worse. He can endure it. ...But he would be more comfortable without the sudden shock of a lump of metal striking a nerve every time he turns his head too quickly, and certainly Dean would be more comfortable, and less at risk, with the bullet removed from his leg, also. There's a low, dull light of concern in Castiel's eyes. ]
