[Teach him? Castiel can barely wrap his head around the basic concept of what they do. Getting into the paperwork and logistics of it does not sound like his idea of a good time, and he doesn't exactly hide that either, with the face that he pulls.

He realizes that Dean's trying to look out for him, but if it comes to that, he would rather get himself a job and earn some money the traditional way. That seems far more reasonable than running a scam. Doing that requires being smooth and Castiel has come to accept that he isn't.

Oddly enough, even though Boots is scaled, he likes to be pet, and so Castiel's bending down to do just that when a leash is mentioned.]

You're right. He won't like it, but we can give it a try. If we go that route, we'll need to get a very strong leash. [Boots is bound to just tear through most of them. Or he might try to burn them off, so they'll need to keep an eye out for that too.]
