Dean and Cas meeting again in Season 9 for the first time since the fall
Dean:
Cas! (hugs him) Man, You've no idea how good it is to see you again.
Cas:
Dean...? (peers closer and then blinks rapidly, as if in recognition) You're Dean. This is... this is you. Dean.
Dean:
Cas, you okay? You're not scrambled in the noggin again, are you?
Cas:
I'm not - my "noggin" isn't "scrambled". I just - I never knew you looked like this.
Dean:
Cas, you've seen me on many occasions for the past four years. Don't tell me you don't know what I looked like. Last I checked, you have working eyes. (suddenly worried) Your eyes are fine, right?
Cas:
My eyes are fine, Dean. But... this is new. (fingers reach up to brush over Dean's features)
Dean:
(a little uncomfortable but not shying away) Cas?
Cas:
(fingers still gently touching Dean's face) I used to see your soul only. It was easy to see you then, I can - could - see you anywhere in a room. Bright, warm, pure, painful sometimes, and so much guilt and regret, and so much good. I never knew you looked like this. I feel like...
Dean:
Like what, Cas?
Cas:
I don't know. Like I know you and yet I don't know you at the same time. (fingers slowly drop) Hello, Dean.
Castiel is such a weird mix of wisdom, childishness, and being unhinged. He talks a lot of gibberish but there are gems in between where he says something really profound and it’s really disconcerting.
Props to Edlund and Misha’s performance for disturbing me so profoundly.
