Couldn't argue it, and he didn't watch to with that touch, head tilted against the stroking thumb as the gorgon watched the hunter's face. There was trust, and perhaps Gabriel was giving it too easily, but there were already so many times that Jack could have hurt him. Killed him. Left him to whatever fate he'd been about to go to.
Felt like his trust was well placed, and so when Jack moved away Gabriel kept himself coiled by the fire. "I'll be here." And he would, tending to that fire.
Did fall asleep after awhile, rested amongst his own coils.
