While it was true that there was a lot that was lost on Castiel, along with countless things that he was simply ignorant about, he wasn't stupid. He could tell that Gabriel was avoiding the heart of the question the second that the archangel started talking, and he realized that that only made his suspicions more likely to be true.
Why would Gabriel have asked about death unless it was something he'd been exposed to lately? He'd either seen a lot of their kind dying (which was unlikely, seeing how he kept his nose out of the other angels' business as much as he could), or...
"You didn't answer the question," Castiel pointed out gruffly as he continued down the hall. He wasn't going to let Gabriel slide on this, if he could help it. Something was clearly going on, and the fact that Castiel didn't know about it probably meant that it was significant.
It wasn't too much longer before they reached another door, and Castiel didn't hesitate to open it. Thankfully, this one didn't give him any trouble, but he was surprised to be greeted by a blast of cold air. So this way would take them outside as well -- presumably the back of the building. He moved to the side so that Gabriel could have a chance to see out. "Does it look like where you traveled last night?" he asked with a tilt of his head. Castiel didn't see a lake of any sort out there, but he also couldn't see very far, even with the help of the flashlight. It was worth asking.
