[It's been so unpredictable who has returned when, so he's never really expecting these sorts of messages when he gets them. Still, as soon as he sees the notification pop up he takes a moment to open it, especially upon seeing Castiel's name.
He isn't totally sure what he's expecting, since he really hadn't seen Castiel in the quarry; he'd presumed he was probably legitimately nearby, even if Dean's comments about him were a ruse, but Lance hadn't really thought much about Castiel's part in anything. So although the sentiment is very nice, and appreciated--]

[He'd told Dean pretty much the same thing, although not in those exact words, and he means it. This Castiel is not the one in the Aerie, and even if he were, what happened was a matter of survival. Lance isn't going to hold that against him.
But he also doesn't want this to come across as a rejection, and sometimes it's most important for the person giving the apology to do so than it is for the person who's receiving it to hear it, so after just a moment he follows up on the message.]
I'm out in the city helping with what's going on. Where are you?
