Gotta keep them filled up with hope, too. Reason you're seeing the butterflies all over the place here- those are created from mine.

[So... in a sense Gabriel was acting as a battery to keep the entire property safe, even if the lantern was what utilized that to keep the protection up. Shit was weird and it was just something he was used to. Didn't like it, but it was what it was.

Emotions were power, ridiculous and unstable as it was.]


At least you know I'll be in the bakery and not out in the snow? [At least he was given a break by Bulat taking over and cooking stew around evening every day so Gabriel was mostly just handling morning and afternoon- with Lady Shelly and Miss Elenor pitching in with things here and there.

Hand reached out, resting on the handle for the greenhouse door-]
Fifth day of last month. Full four years.

gr1m: (.... Um)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
[Shoulders shrugged slightly.] Doesn't have to be a whole lot, the butterflies just stick around because the lantern is taking in and extending it. Top it off every now and then.

[And with them able to flutter around they were extending the radius of protection, so really with just enough from him it was enough to keep the property safe. Still snow covered, but not in any way dangerous other than maybe too much getting and staying on the roof.]

You know you can sit around in there for a little while, enjoy some of the food provided. [Wasn't wrong thought.

Caught Jack by the wrist, pulling him on in to the greenhouse so the door could close behind them both. Was warmer in there at least.]
Didn't know what to do about it.

[At a loss because of being in this place for so long.]

gr1m: (So fresh so cut)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
With hope, yeah. Just feel a bit hopeful near it and that's all. [It was sort of funny, seeing the number of butterflies made of light fluttered at the edges of and around the property-] Doesn't take much, and it doesn't take it out of you at least.

[Was he reassuring Jack and encouraging it? Maybe. Bumped a shoulder against his a bit event.

Eyes did roll a little.]
You could always have a bowl of stew before we head back here then- Bulat makes that, Kevin got himself a good husband out of that man. It's his plants that are insulting the outside of the bakery for extra protection.

[His tongue stuck out at Jack then before heading further in to the greenhouse, shedding the coat to hang by the door, ears perked up a bit as he looked around a little where he stood-] Not too late to do it if you think my being here four years warrants that.

Date: 2019-12-13 11:16 pm (UTC)
gr1m: (That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
Job's all on me then. [Snow was fine, Gabriel just didn't like the cold terribly much, especially now. It stuck with him more than it ever had before, created some ache with it that was a little too much at times. Still, he did like the snow.

He snorted a bit then, and maybe played up the dramatics just a bit when he spoke-]


No one would have me.

[The fact it was still warm was a good sign at least, sticking close to Jack's side enough that shoulders brushed a bit, tail even knocking against him as it moved.]

Better late than never?

Date: 2019-12-13 11:29 pm (UTC)
gr1m: (.... Um)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
Who knows why I keep you around. [Nudging right back with the same amount of force in turn, corner of his mouth twitching a bit. Clear it was playing around in a tease, far from true at all.

Jack was encouraging, all his fault clearly.]


None able to handle me. Forever alone and unloved.

[His nose did twitch, straying a little from Jack's side and more towards the scent of cold air, felt it a bit as well-]

Beef? Still have cuts to choose from. I feel it yeah, give me a second here.

[Had something broken? How? Also just what amount of work would be needed to repair some damage...]

Date: 2019-12-13 11:40 pm (UTC)
gr1m: (Familiar warmth)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
[A ruffle at Jack's hair and a tug at one of his ears-] My grumpy old fart.

[Sickly sweet and teasing all the way, some noise at his tail being pulled and swatting at Jack for it before just bumping a hip against his.]

Not a chance, Morrison.

[Then he was out of reach, could feel the colder breeze and reached out to move a hanging plant- yeah, there was a break there. Ears pricked forward and brow drawn a bit as he huffed-]

Got a hole here we're going to need to block up. What do you recommend?

[Of course he wouldn't notice something creeping near his paws in the shadows there, blending in with the rest of the plant-life too well.]

Date: 2019-12-13 11:51 pm (UTC)
gr1m: (Stay up late)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
You're still an old fart, not any fresher.

[Gabriel was checking for any other breaks, but for the moment there only seemed to be one in the place. Could have been worse-]

Go grab one, should be something like that near the door to the place. I'll stay here and check to make sure it's just this one here. Okay?

[Sitting on his paws then, more eye level with the break, nose wrinkled a bit. Was definitely colder there, shifting some of the plants away to clear the space.]

I don't.

Date: 2019-12-14 12:01 am (UTC)
gr1m: (Sound of silence)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
If you were beaten with a stick you'd turn in to dry shit.

[... Another saying he may have either picked up from Jack himself or McCree, honestly. Teasing at it was in the same line they had been going in.

Gabriel nodded as he kept searching for any little cracks or breaks, moving down to his knees as Jack went off. It wasn't until the other man was out of sight that the cause of the break made itself known. Eyes widening as a vine of something wrapped around his wrist—

He was back on his feet by the time Jack would return, area cleared and the single break in the wall visible.]


Only found the one.

[Nothing noticeably wrong at all, just that tail of his wagging behind him, eyes on Jack. Let him patch it first.]

Date: 2019-12-14 12:14 am (UTC)
gr1m: (Have a little fun)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
Yeah, alright. Did look for more but I didn't find anything, so things should be good for the night.

[Kept his eyes on Jack the entire time, shifting from one paw to another almost as he waited for him-

The moment he was away from the wall and plants? Gabriel was suddenly closer, catching Jack around the waist and leaned in awfully close. Tail wagging away all that much more.]


Don't think we've got to worry much about a critter at least, no signs of an animal.

Date: 2019-12-14 12:24 am (UTC)
gr1m: (Little secrets)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
[Oh, they would be alright.

His forehead bumped against Jack's, nose brushing even with a low noise just in the back of his throat that Gabriel couldn't really help but make, fingers squeezing against his hip in that hold.]


There's something I want to do.

[Wasn't a shoving match, wasn't much of a spar either, but that was a hand catching Jack's jaw to tip his head quickly as lips pressed firmly against his. That tail wagging away even as ears flicked back just to get out of the way. Sweeping him right up in to a kiss.

That vine of mistletoe wrapped snugly around his wrist. Found what had broken in, and it wasn't exactly a critter, no.]

Date: 2019-12-14 12:47 am (UTC)
gr1m: (Here we find ourselves again)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
Not about the brick-

[-Even if you can be as thick as one.

There was a whine in Gabriel's throat when Jack moved his head back, and he couldn't help but continue to lean forward. Trying to keep that closeness, because it wasn't difficult for Jack to push him away if he really wanted to.]
Just you.

Date: 2019-12-14 01:07 am (UTC)
gr1m: (While the dark whispers)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
[Ears were pinned back and his tail was still but low, curled against the back of a leg as claws were caught in the back of Jack's shirt.]

I'll be fine.

[As if saying he was fine would be a lie with the fact his head was suddenly ducking to the side, away. Like he was trying to hide something despite body language giving away clear hurt.]

Date: 2019-12-14 01:27 am (UTC)
gr1m: (Some little kindness)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
[Ears kept pinned back, even if his head tilted against that hand on his jaw, eyes looking anywhere else. Some war of emotions going on; usually he'd already be pushing away, but something was keeping him locked right where he was.

What was there to even say?]


Thought that was clear enough.

[Just forget it. Why did he even think he could be wanted in turn. Already made clear it wasn't on the table weeks ago.

Yet something still kept that part of him quiet.]


You don't want to?
