He nodded his head, not yet willing to admit that since he had seen the gorgon and parted ways with him, he had had more than his fair share of snakes that had come to find him, usually staring. The problem was that he couldn't be certain that the gorgon had sent them all, and it seemed a little silly to admit to bedding down - in some cases literally - with snakes. "Yes, I'll keep my... well, I'll be aware of them." Blind and all.
His hand flexed underneath Gabriel's one, nodding his head. "I will. I know my business well. You keep yourself safe while I'm gone." No heroics, just resting.

When he returned, maybe they could have another moment of such companionship. He was, after all, experiencing a sort of hunger for it the longer they were together like this.
"I'll go then. I'll bring back water for drinking and washing when I come back," he said and finally moved to get to his feet. He decided to leave his full waterskin behind. "That should hold you until I get back." He stepped out of the thickness of Gabriel's coils and headed to the cave entrance, surveying and listening for a minute. Then he stepped out into the world, strengthened his wards and headed for his snares.
Two rabbits and fox caught. He made certain their lives were ended and then took them back to the cave entrance for Gabriel. Then he was off to town.
