[Castiel physically tenses, bracing himself for Claire's reaction. He can't blame her for however she chooses to react; it's a...unique situation, and one that does effect her, from multiple angles.
The 'huh' somewhat catches him off-guard, a more mild response than he expects. Castiel turns to her, expression cautious, as she processes this information. Perhaps he shouldn't have told her. But she already knows that something is going on between him and Dean; Claire is an intelligent, clever, and bright young woman, and himself and Dean aren't exactly acting subtly with the way that they're attempting to walk on eggshells around one another.
When she asks him that, Castiel sighs, shoulders sagging. Now here comes the part that will probably, he thinks, prove especially awkward.]
Because we made out the other night and Dean needed space when I talked to him about it.
[It is, of course, more complicated than how he describes the situation, but it feels like the best way to summarize the entire experience for Claire.]
