"There's a difference between fighting and simply touching, Jack." First use of the name at all, and perhaps using it to drive in that distinction and not addressing him as simply hunter. "It's easy to hurt, after all." So very simply stated.
Still, Gabriel watched the hunter as he moved before sitting up and leaning forwards better, and one of the longer snakes of his hair moved. It's head gently bumped under one of Jack's hands, and if he followed with his hand he'd fine himself slowly guided to where Gabriel's face was.
"They do, yes." He went out among people and was usually left alone at least, but he was still there long enough to know it existed. "Yes, it is and I will be." Would return eventually, as he always did.
