[She's right; they're not speaking. Dean told him she'd made it out alive and more or less unharmed, and with that addressed, he hasn't tried to contact her, and he expects she doesn't particularly want him to. It's not especially nice to have that confirmed, especially not publicly, but he's not inclined to fight her on it. It's not like he has a solid defense. He's barely standing on solid ground.
In fact, he hasn't even seemed to be in the same areas as her. It's hard to avoid someone on a ship with fewer than 100 people on it, but so far, he's managed.
He's also better at the language of passive-aggression and conflict avoidance than she is. Now, he opens a channel, just long enough for her to see that it's there... and then switches it off without saying anything. A silent you've made your point.]
[Not here... or is he?]
