This doesn't surprise me at all. Compartmentalization is the Talon way, and they have somehow mastered it. Annoying when hunting them. [He wouldn't stoop to making a go at Overwatch agents without cause, many of whom were innocent and probably wouldn't appreciate the heart-attack of either of them crashing through their doors.
The lack of argument was basically a giant alarm bell for him, and he turned a bit on the couch so he was half-facing Gabriel. He was so used to things being brushed off and the stubbornness involved in that determined how bad it was. No argument? It was bad.
He knew the old rules of engagements. Both of them had been awful about sharing their shit at the end.
All the same, he met Gabe's gaze and frowned at the exhaustion he saw there. Not just physical, but... everything. Emotional and mental. It forced him to take a sip from his bottle to gather himself, and he made a purposeful effort to shift closer to Reyes on the couch.]
Talk to me, Gabe. [It was a request, not a demand. Leaving the door open, making himself available as he hadn't in years.]
