Some of that bandaging would have to go around his torso and chest, but at least those wounds weren't quite as deep as some of those on his tail had been. Gabriel had guarded his upper body the best he could, but with how many had been upon him- he was lucky they hadn't been aiming to kill him, perhaps. Maybe he'd have been able to kill them all only to go curl up and die some while later himself.

"Will protect the bandaging better if I do wear one." Wouldn't interfere with his basking either. At worse he could roll up the sleeves or something along those lines.

Head tilted against those fingers, snakes moving to meet the touch. "Cake and basking? Spoiling me, hunter." A bit of an amused tease clear enough in his tone.
