Yeah, well, if Sam starts prying into Gabriel's life again, he might reconsider the up close and personal approach, but so far it seems to be paying off. He raises his eyebrows at this new revelation, and considers it for a moment. it could be assumed that usually at least one of the Winchesters is close to death at any one time, but Sam had been looking particularly ill when he last saw him.

He ignores Sam's sudden pause and continues. "Thanks. I think I've really perfected the look. Now, what was it you couldn't finish?" Okay, so he may be being a bit hypocritical here after he went off on Peter for taking advantage of the same situation, but who ever said he was fair?
