( There's a difference in Dean's mind between war and murder. Don't ask him to explain it, he couldn't, it's sourced from old-school beliefs and nationalist propaganda. Mainly, the biggest point is Susan from the PTA meeting ain't exactly in the line of duty.
It's the tone more than the answer that gets something in him shutting down. That 20% stranger-in-the-field wariness comes back, but for wholly different reasons.
He's got no idea what this guy might qualify as deserves, no basis of understanding, no gauge on his moral code.
Truth be told, he was expecting a hard no here - either because it's true, or because he's the type to lie and try to snake by under the radar. Dean can usually pick up on the latter. This deviation's got him off guard.
He eyes Sam a little more keenly, looking for something in his posture. In his microexpressions. Trying to get a good read. One or two quiet seconds pass. )
The day you start snackin' on blondes is the day we got problems.
( Is it a great idea to be throwing out warnings to your mission partner in the alien wilderness where there's a possibility you'll need to depend on them to survive -- provided they don't try to kill you first? Hell no. But he's Dean Winchester. A moron, yeah, but the confidence isn't unfounded. )
