Felix doesn't need to look up to feel Dean's gaze on him like a spotlight, can practically sense the eager tension humming through him. It makes him go on the defensive a little, his posture stiffening, hands tightening on his knees. Maybe this was a mistake.
No-- it was definitely a mistake, he realizes. He might have said let's stay here, we could stay here, but Dean... he won't. Not with Cain and a deal in the balance, he won't. Not on a world without Sam, he won't. And what hope does Felix have of staying by himself, even ignoring the extreme unlikelihood of the Admiral actually letting him go?
It was a mistake to bring this up. "I guess it was just a thought. We spent so long looking for Earth..." He shakes his head very slightly. "If I had the freedom to leave, the resources... the information I'd need..." Or someone to fill in the blanks for me, he adds silently, daring to glance up at Dean again.
