"I'm glad to see you are alright." Gabe says, calming just a bit. He leaned in and whispered to Drake, "Only I am allowed to slap that disrespectful mouth though." His tone was teasing, trying his best to calm himself. The feel of Drake all safe in his arms was quite reassuring, as was having Michael at his back, making it perfectly clear that Drake was off limits. Some might consider it over the top but he would end them if they didn't leave Drake be. He knows his lover can handle himself, but there were quite a few on the council and even more they could call upon to assist them.<br/><br/>Drake's words piss him off all over again and he knows that is exactly his lover's intent. Did Drake enjoy seeing him lose his cool? "I think I made my point." He says in a low tone. That frostbite would take weeks to heal, the blackened flesh was completely dead. He doubted Reake would be willing to help Zephron, considering. "They are, but Ab was also being dumb. It's complicated." He says. He pulls Drake in close and transports them back down to Earth. He just knows this is not the end of it.
