[He nods slightly in greeting, glancing around the house as he follows Break to the kitchen. It would have been okay if Lucifer was around, but it does make things easier that he isn't, particularly as the topic will likely turn to him.
As usual, Castiel doesn't bother with much small talk.]
When I went out during the event, after speaking to you, I encountered Loki.
[He nods slightly; the answer doesn't bother him, as everyone here has their secrets.]
That is good, I suppose. He seemed to think I had some sort of information of use to him, however, as he did attempt some odd combination of bartering and threatening for the opportunity to receive truthful answers.
[Despite what Lucifer might say. Castiel is duplicitous, manipulative, and decent at half-truths and obscuring details, but he's still terrible at outright lying.]
But I will attempt it, next time he speaks with me. Do you know what his fascination with Lucifer is about?
His fascination may not really have an excuse. He may justify it with a machination or two, but I think he just likes the fact that Lucifer is shiny, and when he was so week couldn't help himself trying to push.
He seemed interested in the new arrival from my world, Crowley, though I'm not certain if it was about him in specific or simply how he related to myself and Lucifer.
[A pause.]
You may desire to demonproof the house, if you have not.
Crowley and Lucifer do not get along. It's wise to keep them away from each other if at all possible.
[He doesn't want either of them getting hurt, but he knows they if they end up in the same room together only one of them will probably walk out of it.]

We're quite alone in the house, for the time being, and I can chase out any strays that come visiting.
[They can speak uninterrupted. But in the mean time, he'll usher him in to the warm little kitchen.]

[Break murmurs, getting down a bowl, as his eyebrows arch.]
That must have been interesting.

[Failing to look apologetic in the least.]
Threats were exchanged.

[He admits, with a shrug.]
Answer him with whatever you'd like. You don't know anything more about me than he does.
[Whoops, that may not have been reassuring.]

[Break can make shapes out of questions as easily as Loki can make them out of answers.]
[Offline]
[And, more tellingly...]
When I asked him why he was so interested in him, suddenly he tired of speaking with me.

[Break instructs, smiling.]
Do it on the PCD and bring me the device after, if he has the wits to lock it.

-of myself.

In what way?

That would explain why he is seemingly so disorganized and unfocused, if he is not actively working toward a goal.

[He and Castiel had been sort-of friends, and might still be. He isn't sure.]
