Gabriel had gotten pretty used to happy homecomings lately. He hadn't been doing anything that looked too dangerous or long of a task, but he'd been happy to get back to working at all. He hadn't known if that was going to work out. Sasan had been so helpful, and Ginny herself was just darling. She hardly ever fussed, and Gabriel was actually a little suspicious about it, she was so easy-going.

His eyebrow popped up when he heard about 'sentient toast', and he laughed when Ginny did. "What a smart girl," he cooed as he took her from Jack. "You know that's silly, huh? Toast shouldn't be like that!" She giggled at him again, this time obviously at the tone of his voice.

Virginia was the light in his life, and Gabriel had never felt more settled than this. In fact, he probably annoyed Jim a bit with how much he talked about her, even if he did apologize afterwards. "All right- let's head to the archives. I will make sure baby hands are kept to themselves." He grinned at Jack. The last time he'd brought Ginny into the archives, she'd managed to nearly swipe a small stick that contained an AI-based computer virus, and Gabriel still didn't know how that happened.

As they walked, Gabriel occasionally bumped his shoulder into Jack's in a quest to be close. "So. Cursed toaster. How cursed are we talking about?"
