[ they're all changes that certainly aren't lost on castiel. for all these years have felt longer, in ways, than his billion year life before them, he still remembers sam clearly, everything about him, how he'd looked and felt and behaved. he doesn't even need to sense that sam is from another timeline at all; the evidence is standing right in front of him.
but he's not wrong. castiel's changes certainly aren't subtle at all, and he's a far cry from the angel he once was, far more comfortable and settled in this skin than he ever was as an angel, his movements all smooth and easy and natural. still, there's a definite tension in the line of his shoulders when sam approaches, and castiel himself makes no attempt to close the gap. it's a.. mistrust of sorts, a wariness that's evident in the way his eyes sharpen, laser-focused on sam's face, in the way he tucks his hands into his pockets almost defensively, his posture closed.
he doesn't know sam. not anymore. they hadn't exactly parted ways on the absolute best of terms, and after all that's happened.. well. he's cautious. ]
2014. [ he answers, like it's the most natural thing in the world, like a conversation about timelines is entirely normal, like 'when' and 'where' are interchangeable. ] Outside Kansas City. What about you?
