But Dean doesn't back down. He has to know what he's dealing with here, in this man. There's a pretty good possiblity, after almost a month of searching, that Sam is gone and that leaves him here alone. If Gabriel is willing to be an ally for the time being, that would be valuable, but he doesn't trust that there aren't any sort of underlying motives. But then, that was sort of human nature.
"Yeah." The corners of Dean's mouth turn up slightly in a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Guess people aren't a huge fan of making friends with a guy who goes around advertising homicidal tendencies. Funny how that works. So you're, what? Trying to change that and make a few friends?"
Dean turns to face Gabriel more fully, leaning his side against the bar. "Look. I'm not exactly the making friends type myself. And in my experience? People usually want something from you. So what do you want?"
Granted, he was guilty of that himself. Dean rarely made friends and generally only socialized when it suited his purposes. He knew that Sam was usually seen as the more approachable of the two of them, so why was this guy so interested in him. The only answer that Dean could think of had to do with his powers, but Gabriel wasn't exactly threatening to kill him, even if saying that he'd killed a pyrokinetic in the past had to be one of the most unsettling conversation starters.
