[Despite everything he's done, though, he's still a coward over things like this. Ellen is no threat to him, he knows that. Even Dean doesn't really worry him. But taking a side on this issue when he has nothing to gain from it - it doesn't matter whether or not he's comfortable with what certainly looks like torture. Doesn't matter that he's gotten kind of fond of Meg, in an antagonistic kind of way. Doesn't matter that she means an awful lot to Castiel. What matters is that siding with either Meg or Ellen could have further-reaching implications than he's willing to risk. Easier to just stay out of it - comme d'habitude.]
