[Yeah, that's Adam Milligan for you, a delightful surprise with legs.
The look on the kid's face is almost comical when you really think about the context. The angel looks as surprised to have Adam call a spade a spade as if the sky suddenly opened up and started raining frogs. He's not sure he's ever heard an angel at a loss for words before. No one of them can be this good of an actor, can they? Gabriel, maybe, but he doesn't seem like one for stuttering or playing the timid card. And Castiel had never sugarcoated the fact that Zachariah had been right about nobody giving a crap about the half-brother.
But this one... Talking about just wanting to help like the most innocent angel on the block, this one is trying to get away with pretending to be all sugar and sweetness. Wow. Had Adam been faced with this back before the Cage, before he'd found out the truth, he would have bought it whole-heartedly. Cute kid, kind angel... This is how it's supposed to be, not how it ever had been. Now, he doesn't let the boy's downcast face shake him, even if he's tempted to ask if the angel is always this demure around people he knows full well he can kill in an instant.
Somehow Adam doubts this is sincere sympathy for the vessel that had face-planted at the bottom of the Cage, though. He'd been down there for years, and no one had come knocking for his autograph then. Suddenly he's--literally--the one who got away.]
You had no idea it was me on the phone?
[Adam definitely looks leery of Samandriel's answer, studying him with narrowed eyes. He doesn't know how to respond to the angel's offers to help without really giving Samandriel a piece of his mind, so he says nothing at all.
When it comes to the Cage, his tone is dark and unwavering.]
Yeah, I remember bunking with Michael and Lucifer, if that's what you want to know. You guys have been playing doctor with my soul since I got here.
[Gabriel, mostly, but at the same time it's a subtle reminder that he's Michael's vessel and Michael doesn't seem to be the happiest archangel around when other angels touch his spare shirt. That includes Samandriel now, if he's joining the angel brigade on a permanent basis.]
