The archangel's refusal to tell him anything only made the situation seem that much more dire, and yet Castiel knew that pushing it any further would only get a stubborn response. Gabriel was not the sort who caved even after being pressed into giving an answer multiple times; persistence would not work on him.
And so Castiel was willing to let it drop, if not happy about it. Then again, there wasn't much to be happy about, especially with this trap that both of them had been caught in. He could still barely believe that someone had managed to net an archangel, especially one who had managed to leave Heaven and hide from even its highest-ranked soldiers for centuries. It truly didn't bode well for them.
What they were left to do was look for a way out, and thus far, to no avail. Castiel could not forget the pain in his shoulder and arm, but the reminder was good, in a way. It told him that this wasn't going to be simple, and that he could not get through with his usual methods. But when they couldn't even get a door open with their combined efforts, it did all feel a bit dismal.
Gabriel's response was both a bother and useful. The way he said it left something to be desired, but the necessary information had still been provided: out there was not where he'd been, which meant it was new to both of them. "Then let's see what we can find," he said, moving through the door and into the cold air without a second's delay.
