Well, that's out then. When do I ever feel hopeful? [While it wasn't in him much anymore, he could do that. He actually enjoyed winter where others disliked it. Snow was fun, exciting and it was definitely a good place to throw Reyes who was from that nice warm South.

He shrugged his shoulders to the idea of eating while he was lurking there. He preferred to keep up the appearance of being aloof and grumpy. It seemed to keep Gabe's son from having another go at him, which was better for all of them. He only needed one nosy drama queen in his life and that slot was taken.]

Oh yeah, maybe you should get yourself a good husband too. Then they can cook you stew and drag you home. [Again, he was teasing. He appreciated Gabe's fierce independence and stubborn idiocy when it came to pushing the limits to everything. It shows how much the older man actually cared.

He slid out of his own jacket and left it by the door, giving his tail more room to move as he walked. He removed his gloves as well, stuffing them in those pockets before leaving them both. The green houses always smelled good. He followed as they made the rounds checking for damage to the place.] Apparently I'm a month late.
