[ It's not Jack he trusts, he doesn't know him, but himself. His judgment. The fact that he doesn't hide his association with Lucifer earns him a point of respect. The second comes when Jack rejects Lucifer despite their association. It means he thinks for himself and isn't that what he meant to go back to Heaven for? To help the angels rebuild but also to remove the leash of obedience.
That doesn't mean it sits well with him. It's hard to accept all that he's heard so far, but there's nothing to be gained by holding his ground. He may not know the reason why he protected Jack's mother and started training him, but he trusts that given all the facts, he made the right choice. So, he adapts. Changes tactics.
Still, that doesn't prepare him for the way Jack moves forward as if to engage him. In what, he has no idea. His brows furrow, mouth turning down, unsure what the youth means to do. Was this an attack? His eyes flick to his hand but finds no angel blade there, and before he can question him Castiel is pulled into a.... hug? He stiffens, back and arms going ramrod stiff, a bewildered look clouding his features. Was this their greeting? Cupids said hello in a similar fashion, but did Nephilims do the same thing?! ]
Uhh....
[ He doesn't move, simply endures it, unsure what he expects from him. ]
I suppose we'll be spending more time together from now on.
