Let himself relax, part out of exhaustion and part out of what trust he still held for this hunter. Even more so for the fact that Jack actually came looking to see if it was him in order to get him out. That was a high risk for his person and perhaps more, considering how humans could and would treat their own.
Gabriel pillowed his head against folded arms, his own eyes closed even as those snakes of his hair settled against his back, watching Jack in their own. "I can still feel it, haven't been under any condition to let it flush from my body." The downside to still being in this form was that he needed better heat for his system, but he lacked the energy to change to something much more warm blooded. "They were like a hydra; the more that went down, the more that came," like ants.
Did hiss at certain deeper wounds, but he didn't move so that Jack could clean them better. "Bounty will probably go up when word of the caravan never making it gets out." His nose wrinkled, briefly. "Still, would rather freedom than what would have become of me."
