At the very least the lung hadn't re-collapsed in the night, helped the healing process, but it didn't make his breathing feel like less of a struggle at times just yet. A couple more days of being allowed to heal possibly would. "Alright, alright. Just can't get mad at me since you've given me permission and all." That was a light bit of a tease, a ruffle of Jack's hair before going back to the more slow and soothing motions.
Would have been easy, take him out and then just wait for Jack to be somewhere alone and sick with his worry before taking him out as well. All the more reason to keep their gift as much of a secret as possible, try and make it difficult to piece together. Some of their survivals could just be put up to whatever SEP had done to them both, a couple of successes compared to the others that hadn't survived the treatments.
This was a moment that Gabriel hoped it had been a statement to the world, rather than their secret being out.
He hummed lightly, "I know. You stuck behind a desk and me out there taking care of something you couldn't with Overwatch." A way Gabriel had his back, and of course he went out at times for other reasons, but wasn't that what Blackwatch was for? As much as he knew Jack was likely stressing as much being behind a desk unable to go as he was having to deal with all of the politics. They did so much better when they could have each other's backs- "We're going to have to hop through Europe a bit, but I think heading back to the US might be our safest bet for at least a little while." Disappear as soon as possible.
Gabriel snorted, "Of course you'd find some of it adorable while others tried to avoid it completely." There was a difference between him just being Mad and then him being Angry.
