He stuck his feet out one at a time for his laces to be tied, and he gritted his teeth as his arm was helped back into the sling. He leaned in on Gabe for a moment, needing that closeness for a moment as he gathered his breath again. "Yeah, I'll keep watch. You'll be safe with me."
After being close for a few moments, he eased around Gabriel to keep watch at the mouth of the alley. "All clear."
