He noticed that Gabriel was relaxing, which was a good sign and a bad one. Exhaustion was one thing, but he appreciated the trust. He had a lot to do tonight, but this simple gesture was a way to repay a kindness that he had received after that fight with the chimera when they had met for the second time. The wounds had to be cleaned or they would definitely fester. He knew they couldn't stay here a long time.
"I'll get a fire going once I clean you up a bit," he murmured softly, hands working on the injuries. For now, they would receive bandages. He had brought extra supplies of those at least, which was going to come in handy given the bulk he had to deal with. There was an awful lot of Gabriel in this form. "They sent teams from multiple Guilds. I don't know how many just yet, but the Western King is paying a fortune to acquire creatures to use in his war."
Once the biggest wounds were cleaned and wrapped, he grunted softly. "Maybe. There are plenty of creatures there and any one of them could have caused the start of the escape." He rose from his place, reaching out to touch Gabriel's shoulder lightly. "I wouldn't have left you there no matter what. I won't let you go back either." A promise.
That was all the assurance he could offer. "I'm going to gather some wood for a fire. Are you hungry? I can try to catch some game."
