[ this topic has been something utterly off-limits, impossible, until the aerie, and it's a shock to him, still, trying to think of it as anything but. and yet, here's gene, someone who's judgment he trusts sincerely, saying otherwise. it's... a bit of a trip, and takes a moment to adjust to. ]
I suppose, yes, that would make logical sense.
[ and how often does dean make logical sense to him? h a . part of him desperately wants to be hopeful, and all the rest is certain he's setting himself up for hurt, embarrassment, and disappointment. difficult to wrap his head around. ]
We've touched on it some. I won't speak to what was said, that's private between he and I, but you can trust I ain't playing the fool.
( honestly he thinks he could solve their whole issue if he had ten minutes with the both'a them at once in a locked room. preferably if they were tied to a chair an' gagged. )
[ the fact dean allowed discussion of it at all is progress from where they currently stand, and a surprise to cas. huh. ]
No, of course, what he told you in confidence should remain so. [ much as cas might want to know, it's something for dean to tell himself, if he chooses to. ] Thank you, Gene. I'll reflect on this.
[ tied to chairs an' gagged would probably be faster, but hey, they're getting there. ]

I'm just saying, I don't think he's as reticent as you may expect.
