Gabriel's smile looks soft and almost shy. "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Sometimes it's good to have people to talk to that aren't- experts, I mean." And she seems both kind and wise, and he could use help on both fronts there.
He looks thoughtful for a moment, then turns and taps the point where the base of his head connects with his neck. "It's right there, by the way. If things ever go wrong, or even if you're worried- impale that spot and it'll shut me down. I'll look dead, but if you pull it out, I'll heal right back up."
He turns back to her and tilts his head to the side, giving her a wry smile. "I know that's kind of gruesome, but I want you to feel as comfortable around me as you can. Know I'm not some unstoppable force." Because if he does end up sparring with the kid again, he doesn't want Masaki to feel powerless about what he can do.
