Gabriel smiled at the other, leaning closer as he did to avoid being overheard by what he were pretty sure were a delegation of the fae. This was supposed to be a summit of some sort for the supernaturals of the city, something about recent acts unbecoming. Gabriel had zoned out half an hour in, and the same man was speaking and didn’t seem to have any interest in stopping two hours later.

actually, you're on the monsters' side.

- Gabriel doesn’t meant to get attached to the somewhat prickly, green, much, much older warlock, but he does. Even if he does tease, with much delight, and much frequency, he really respects Ragnor. 

- Gabriel only learned the very basics of what being a warlock even meant before he met Ragnor, but it was Ragnor that took him in and taught him how to make a portal, and a glamour that didn’t flicker and fade.

- Gabriel is still quite young to other immortals, he’s only stopped ageing for a few years, and the first year he’s with Ragnor, he jokingly gets him a father’s day card; it’s aggressively green, and plays an obnoxious jingle when opened- and Gabriel absolutely loves the facial expression it made Ragnor make when he got it. (he made sure to get a picture of it). 

- Gabriel finds it hard to believe most of the time, that Ragnor is really that old. he can happily sit for hours and listen to Ragnor tell stories about history, it’s like being in history class but better. He wouldn’t believe the stories were true but... it’s hard to argue with physical letters addressed from Jane Austen.

Okay, so this is based off what I’ve collected for Gabriel so far, but I think this one works surprisingly well. it has a sense of... tragic romance to it with lines like “Oh nobody caught me yet, I hope that you will” and “I'll give you a love that cannot last”. Which is a defining trait for Gabriel I think. He’s very content to play his part, and most of the time he legitimately enjoys the hedonism, but he’s still starved for any actual, lasting emotional attachments. 

Though he doesn’t exactly encourage people to stick around- “For all that I needed, I need you not to care”. The verse begins with “Lie down take your clothes off, and let me stare”, which sets up this more... physical things, something inherently intimate in a way. Gabriel is very much a collection of physical desires that are met to excess; sex, and food, and fabrics, but without nay real joy behind them. they’re fun, but the shine wears off eventually. 

The song has a very slow, almost somber mood to it, which works surprisingly well for Gabriel, who bounces between things like this, and the more techno, highly synthetic sounds, and both are very fitting for the character but I think that the more techno-sound will fade with time, as the new fad comes in, and a new exiting things sweeps the world.
