"Sweet. Always so good as boosting my self image," he remarked softly, appreciating that Gabe would actually say stuff like that. He reached between them and tugged on Gabe's goatee then reached to drag his fingers across the close-cropped hair. "Noticed that amazing fade of yours and that beard you were sporting. Then took in the whole package and couldn't have been happier."
He hobbled his way to his feet, and he shuffled off to gather things that would need to burn onto the bed. Anything of theirs they weren't taking but had handled. Towels, bedding, clothing fragments too small to wear. Anything that couldn't burn was discarded in a small garbage can to be removed when they left.
"No hauling yourself around either," he pointed out as he finished up, removing the towel he had been wearing to add to the pile on the bed. He then had the painful process getting dressed, wincing as he pulled on what was left of his compression shirt. Body armour had been lost in the blast. His pants... well, they covered the essentials and that's about it. After fifteen minutes, he approached Gabe with a soft whine. "Daddy, can you tie my shoes?" Because no way he had enough fingers to do it himself.
