Jack had to smile at Gabriel's eagerness, probably not exactly able to understand. He liked the sun, but it wasn't something that he required to warm himself either. He noted that the gorgon's scales shimmered in the direct sunlight, and they had good colour to them now that they had been scrubbed clean and the dead scales had been removed. Gabriel also seemed wholly more comfortable as well.
He eased himself down so he could sit cross-legged next to Gabriel's shoulder instead of taking the opportunity to lean against the gorgon as he had been doing more and more. It made it hard to talk but also, he didn't want to make it seem like he was taking advantage of the opportunities.
"I'll eat some cake here and then I have chores I should do to make the night easier for us." Now that he didn't have to go to town, he could collect fire wood, haul more water, track down more food and track any footprints that he didn't like. That was... if he could make it that far and not just fall asleep on the gorgon again.
