"I didn't bother. My guess? Jack wanted to see if Jim would let off some steam." Gabriel shook his head. "And I didn't punch him back, either. I didn't want to break the orb. I don't know what good it would've done, anyway. I think he punches a lot better than I do." He patted his jaw for dramatic effect.

"We separated, and both spent the last few hours by ourselves. I ordered watches. Jim apparently got in another fight." Gabriel shrugged. "I guess I really hit a nerve, asking about that half-human I look like. Got too curious." He stared down at his feet while he walked, appreciating the sympathy. "That's the weird thing- we worked really well together. Maybe that made it worse on him. I figure he must've been really close with the half-human, and lost him. He tried his best to pick apart our relationship..." He was trying to figure it out again, and that wasn't going to get him far.
