[ It's ingenious, the way humans manage to live in even the most inhospitable of environments. This little burrow is a testament to that, Castiel decides as he looks around the room for the first time (the red panda on the bed, the real owner of the burrow perhaps? is adorable but ignored, for the moment) while the kettle is readied and the water brought to a boil.
That catches Castiel's attention: the sudden coalescing of energy where Bolin is, and there are rocks turned to heat in an impressive display of alchemy. A witch? His soul appears human (he has a soul; must be), but that's an interesting ability Castiel can't recall having seen performed by anyone before. He considers asking about it (or clarifying that he's not a spirit, exactly) but he's a little distracted by the matter at hand and very uneasy. Dean is dead, and Sam is still a problem to be concerned with, ideally before Dean returns. If Dean returns. No, when Dean returns.
fair point

Castiel gets right to the point. ]
