As Catherine administered her first aid, Gabriel breathed calmly and evenly. This wasn't the first time he'd been patched up like this and it wouldn't be the last.  When she finally pressed on his rib and snapped it back into place, he gave a surprisingly mild grunt of pain and took several deep breaths almost immediately. He could feel the pain even through his mantle, which meant it must have been truly agonizing.<br/><br/>"Thanks." He sighed, thankful that it was over with. He paused at her flirting, surprised by it. The man remained silent for several moments, debating how he should react to it. He wasn't exactly opposed to the idea, per se. His loins were certainly screaming at him to take her up on her teasing offer, but he'd spent enough time ignoring that idiot to suppress the animalistic lust welling inside of him.<br/><br/>"As much as I'd like to," he finally answered, deciding to be prudent and truthful. "I think this is hardly the time or place. If the offer still stands after we're done with this mess, ask me again." He suppressed a small smirk, pleasantly surprised. It had been quite some time since he'd even considered dating, but he couldn't deny his attraction to the smart and confident career woman he found himself entangled with.
