The more aware that he became, the closer that Gabriel listened, remained still and putting on the act that he was still out of it. Easy to do with what was essentially a bag over his head meant to cover not only his face, but the snakes of his hair as well. Remained curled in his coils so the large size of him could fit in the cage they'd placed him in, black and red scales dulled due to injury and little care as he was kept asleep. He was still a sight to behold for those that had never seen a gorgon, bound as he was.
The garter snake? Was kept close and hidden with him so that it wouldn't be seen, caught between knowing one of those voices and what he was told as it hissed quietly.
Remained still, even as he'd heard the other creatures being released simply to try and gauge what was happening; he had a guess, but a part of him didn't want to hope. Knew what a risk this could be if it was—
As the locks were undone he reared up on his tail, hunched over due to the roof of the cage, ripping away the bag as snakes hissed and then quieted as they caught sight of a familiar hunter first. "Time for the bride to runaway then, isn't it?" His voice was hoarse, Gabriel took in the bit of chaos around them as creatures fed on corpses. "Enough, but I don't know how far I can get." They'd done a number on him, but he refused to voice his question just yet as well as he watched Jack.
