( Dean thanks his lucky stars they get out of the model home. Waking up in their house again, he makes the rounds, making sure Cas and Claire are all there. And when they are, he takes off. He's been cooped up inside for two long. For those two days back, he keeps busy. He patrols. He inspects. Are there new buildings? No. Is the fog being fog? Yep. Are he and Cas speaking? Not much? The last thing Dean says to Cas is that he needs time. Other than pleasantries, checking in, and the occasional nod or head tilt, Dean and Cas are definitely off.
It doesn't help that on day 26 he had a conversation that got him thinking, but did not get him acting.
He wakes up the morning of the 28th. He isn't shaking, nor is he dehydrated. He took Cas' advice and gathered Gatorade for his electrolyte needs. He's not bender-level when it comes to his drinking. He's steadied it. He can't stop, won't stop - but, he's functioning again. Screw the doctor that tried to call him out. He has bigger problems than eventual liver failure.
He'll die eventually, right? They all will. (Hell, he has.)
Now that he's had his own space, hovered enough but not said anything, Dean thinks he has the bandwidth to be there for Claire. In this case, it means a knock at her bedroom door and the offering of a mug of coffee. (There's no booze in it, though.) He's noticed her bandaged hand. He knows she too was locked somewhere else. He has questions. Mystery town aside, he also has concerns. And those concerns? Being there. Just being there.

So, here he is. Stepping up. Knocking. )
Hey, Claire?
