[Even as he makes it through, Castiel knows that he hasn't crossed all the way. This is temporary, and he can tell that part of his Grace is still back there, in that world of the living. When he appears, he's somewhat see-through, his wings only barely visible.
Gabriel greets him as expected, but Castiel isn't interested in small talk. (Not that he ever is, but even less so this time around.) He forces himself forward, reaching out for Gabriel -- or the image of him, at least.]
It's more like the other way around, this time. You need to come back with me.
[He tries to catch hold of Gabriel's Grace, realizing he needs to carry every bit of it back with him if they're going to return.]
