[ being transported unceremnoniously to this other-world has been one of the odder experiences in his life, but nothing underpins it more than suddenly hearing a voice on angel radio when it's been silent since his arrival — it startles him out of a not-quite doze, and he stares up at the cracked and peeling ceiling as he processes the question he's been asked.
Yes, Sam is here. I am certain he will want to speak with you.
Oh, you must have been from when Rowena was still evil. I don't know when it changed, but by the time I was born, she was a friend to the family, and someone who helped us when we needed magic. She saved our lives. I know that wasn't always the case, but she really has changed. She forgave me for being Lucifer's son and tried to save my life when I was sick.
[ a sentiment might reach jack, a brief peal of worry all castiel's own, which all the same is nowhere near comparable to the concern that the future castiel will feel.
but it's cut off just as quickly, and castiel doesn't reply anymore. ]

[ there isn't much heat behind it; it's a tired statement of fact. an explanation for castiel's own point of view. ]
Does he know I'm here?
no subject
I thought it best you talk to Sam so he can reassure you I'm telling the truth. I understand that what I've told you is overwhelming.
no subject
[ there's a long pause. ]
You're saying Sam is from your time.
no subject
I'll let Rowena know that she is still an enemy in your experience so she doesn't approach you casually.
no subject
You should be careful around her.
