The fact that he can do this and Gabriel doesn't wake up spoke a lot of trust, and Jack was again put in the position where he wondered if he deserved it. There was plenty of blood on his hands, though he never denied it when asked. This was still a man who had lost everything except his own life thanks to a hunter and while Jack was probably just a toddler when that happened, sometimes he could feel the weight of the Guild.
Right now, he felt that weight, but it wasn't stopping him from running his fingers over every aspect of Gabriel's face, filling in all the gaps that his mind couldn't. Combination of sight and touch and smell was powerful, and he lazed in those coils all the same because his reasons for getting up didn't seem as important as being aware of Gabriel sleeping so deeply.
Hell, even his hair seemed content. His fingers went from exploring to simply touching, stroking lightly while there was opportunity to steal them. Though would snakes tell on him? He'd probably find out eventually.
