Here's the deal. If Castiel comes with us, the trip is still on. I'm considering him as an option.
If I decide he's not tagging along, neither is Xerxes; I'll wait to go until he's busy or distracted with something. Someone. Whichever. Gabriel will go with me whether I want him to or not.
[Good to know. He says it as if he's just restating a memorized fact.]
If we all go, you'll be the primary diplomat. Break and I will serve as backup. Gabriel and Castiel will be there to memorize everything we see and hear. [Photographic angel memories.]
You don't tell anyone before we leave. You leave a message when we go to one loved one. I don't need the hassle of people chasing us because I set this up.
Xerxes, for now, has the right to say when enough is enough. Listen to him, but also to me. If anything happens, we do what we can to bring us all back out.
