No. All soldiers of Heaven are meant to obey the will of God. [ Or whoever could make the strongest claim to being His proxy. Castiel can't believe the thought never occurred to him before, but the thought of the archangels lying about their Father's plan and passing off their own words as his had just been so unthinkable. It's still very unthinkable. He can only consider it at all because the alternative is that much worse. ]

Up until very recently my duties only rarely put me in contact with humans, yes. I'm told it's a little obvious.

Sounds like a pretty shitty job, buddy. Bet your benefits package sucks. [ He's mostly joking, if the snort is any indication. ] How many vacation days do you even get? One at the end of the world?

It...kinda is. Which makes this conversation way weirder, if we focus on that part at all? 'Cause you're, whatever. Gonna guess some kind of angel...? Correct me if I'm wrong. [ Or somebody who's very very good at acting, but Vasquez isn't going to discount the angel option considering what he knows about Norfinbury's current population. ]
Not the point, though. You'll get it down eventually with a little practice. Probably.
[ does that count as a vote of confidence or ]

Some kind of angel, yes. [ His tone is wry and heavily implies 'a bad one'. Congratulations, Vasquez, you've successfully managed to get Castiel to make something approaching a joke. ]

In theory we're supposed to rest on the Shabbat each week, but with the disagreement over which day was the holy day and the later invention of time zones it became somewhat confused and impractical. [ This, on the other hand, is dead serious. ]
