When the snakes withdrew, Jack took that as a sign that it was best he not continue with the explorations and a good thing too as Gabriel began to shift and come up from sleep. He shifted in the coils that flexed under his cheek and shoulder, and he finally pushed himself up so that he could crawl over that muscular body. He left his blanket behind to keep the warmth with Gabriel.
Then he moved to the embers that were flickering red and began to build their fire back up slowly. It didn't take long to have a good flame going, warming the bite of coolness from the air, but that would take time to warm entirely given the cave was large enough to house their supplies and themselves comfortably.
He returned and eased into a crouch in front of Gabriel's head, waiting to see if the gorgon would wake fully.
