He turned his head at the feel of the tail tip against his side, though for some reason, he wasn't surprised or shy from it. Instead, his hand dropped to stroke along the tip, fingers caressing over scales and just feeling them a little. "I do. You've just the first to sound truthful when you talk about how little they bother you."
He nodded his head, and that was definitely the track he expected this bounty system to go with, since he had actually read the one on the previous gorgon. If he could push the narrative that Gabriel in the caves was different from Gabriel in the cage then he could hide the gorgon and sneak him back into the safest areas. "I will check in with a Guild outpost as soon as I can, but for now, my priority is your health. Before letting you go on your own again, I'll check in on the bounties and see where yours is."
He had significantly lightened his pack with offloading his food and supplies, and he had built up the supply of wood that Gabriel could use while he was gone. "Well... we have a week or three before we go back to ourselves again," he said with a nonchalance he didn't feel. A part of him didn't want this to end.
"Alright. I will check the snares first, and if we have game, I'll leave it at the entrance, okay? You can eat or cook it as you want. I should head to town so I can make it back before too long," he murmured, though he was slightly hesitant to go. It wasn't because he thought Gabriel would be captured or just leave but more... he just found comfort in the gorgon's company and presence.
