( Good news, Dean's priority to the world is firmly in second place. It's not healthy, it can be downright screwed up and wrong at times, but his people always come first. The fact that the world is a close second probably wouldn't be all that reassuring to Geralt either, but what can you do, he's a Winchester. All things are his responsibility — and he is absolutely guilty of making decisions on behalf of others at times as a result.
He's not as sorry about that as he should be.
Let me worry about them.
Dean's look lingers for another couple of heartbeats, weighted, assessing. At length, he slowly nods. It's not that he's necessarily lumping himself in with them, but it's the rest of the implication that really hits him: that Geralt's making the choice to stick around despite knowing it could bring him and his into some serious shit.
When people look at Dean, when they get to know him, when they get a glimpse of all the bullshit he's involved in — and they still choose to stay?
He takes that more personally than any normal person should. It matters more than it should. Too much, way too much, but that's Dean Winchester. Unhealthy in his loyalty, and when circumstances align in the right (or wrong) ways, too easily attached to people.
Like hell he's gonna friggin say that, though, he knows he's pathetic and deliberately plugs his mental ears about the whole thing, la la la shut up I don't have emotions go screw yourself. Focus on the monster issue. )
Thorne.
( Lucifer's manipulative, he can lie, but Dean's fairly confident that was true. )
He doesn't know where I am, but it won't take him long to figure it out.
