His sleep was deep and restful as he lay curled up in Gabriel's coiled body hidden under blankets. There was a sort of spicy scent to the gorgon's hide that he had come to associate with Gabriel, and while he could smell healing wounds by old blood, it didn't bother him. He felt safe when he had no right to.
Then again, if they had wanted to kill each other, both of them had had plenty of opportunities to make that happen. That they didn't seemed to speak of a growing trust between them.
He slept through the night to sunrise, his internal clock rousing him. He left his blindness in place for now, simply feeling the shift of Gabriel's body as he breathed, the scent of him and the feel of those scales under his cheek but also curled around his fingers. He stayed like that, awake but unmoving for several minutes just drinking in the situation. Feeling rested was an odd sensation in and of itself as well.
The fire had burned down in the night, but he wasn't cold. They shared body warmth, and under the blankets, it was cozy enough to of comfortable temperature. He slowly raised his head and murmured a magical incantation to slip his sight back in place, yawning directly after.
