[ It's almost beautiful in its reveal, how it all falls apart and comes together. Gabriel did not scare easy; he's seen a lot in their lifetime, Jack as well, but when it came to the latter? He sometimes surprises himself.
The heavy scars catch his eyes first, eyebrow line hardened but the irises quivering ever so slightly as he tries not to flit his gaze in a sort of desperate attempt to find his old friend in the fractured creature before him. He came here after (trying to) compartmentalizing those feelings, but like this now, too close for comfort, he can't help but crumble just a little inside.
It's the extra eyes that jar him out of this, surprisingly enough. Gives him just enough leeway to take a crack at him, even if it seems a little forced. ]
Mgh... [ Clearing his throat, his fists tighten again. ] Bet you're a real hit at parties now.
