Gabriel was the first person that he had touched that didn't involve violence or indifference. The gorgon was the first face he had studied in a long time weeks ago, and now he was comfortable enough to have that physical grounding between them. It was clearly a first time experience for either of them in a very long time, so he supposed he was going to 'abuse' the trust given to him. Just a little bit.

"No, I cannot," he agreed. He had thought they might speak, but no, it was just snakes being snakes. They came and went as they pleased, and he had instructed or spoken with them, but he never actually had an answer back. "If I see a snake, I'll know to come back to you and make certain everything is alright."

He nodded his head and shifted his pack on his shoulders then reached out again to have a hand on Gabriel. "I will grab what I can vegetable wise. There's a pretty good herb vendor that I know, so I'll grab some for cooking and for poultices."
