( he appreciates the thought, even if he doesn't say so out loud. overall he'd rate his satisfaction with his state of being armed at a zero out of five. he's never felt more ... naked than here, with only a switchblade on his person. even in purgatory he had his gun. it's a bit of a relief to know he'll have an angel blade at his disposal soon. (though, in his honest opinion, not soon enough. he's been itching to head into the forest and keep going until he can't anymore. but if it's as dangerous as cas says, he'll need to be much better armed.)

especially considering how death works in this place (or doesn't). it's different from purgatory in that regard. no one who died in purgatory ever came back. but here... people do come back, apparently. only it's not a guarantee. )

So I've heard. ( from someone named bruce, at least, and his information seemed to check out pretty well. ) If you're worried about me, don't be. I ain't about to run off into the forest with just a switchblade and a prayer.
