[ He tilts his head. Fair. ] I can't make promises for him.
[ Stephen strikes him as a practical man; he trusts him, in large part because Sam does, but he can acknowledge that when it comes down to it, he doesn't know Stephen well enough to say what might happen should their agendas not align. Hasn't happened between them. They aren't on those terms yet, where Geralt would be willing to take responsibility on the man's behalf.
He leaves it at that. Beyond a warning, there isn't much else to do. In a sense, his concerns settle closer to home: Dean himself. Physically, with the miles separating them, he imagines Lucifer can do little. And Dean did not tell him he has someone in Thorne already to speak to nor ask for who Geralt means, which suggests his ties to those who live in the castle are minimal.
But he's seen enough of Dean's past to understand there are more ways than one to bleed. ]
