It was clear right away that Drake had no problem handling a knife he was more than skilled with it and could do the cutting but it still felt like he needed the help on the confidence of what the hell he was doing and how to actually cut the veggies in the right order to have the right effect. Though Gabe stepping close and into his space like this was like something took his lungs and gripped them as the smell and feel of the man was a lot to resist. It caused Drake to stiffen right away and drop holds hold of the knife feeling overwhelmed and flustered. "I think I'm done with this." He said slipping out of reach and looking to retreat.<br/><br/>The attack would come but he could feel the familiar from his husband and he blocked it the same way it was common to block for him in training and flicking some of his flames out as far as heat that would feel familiar to Abbaddons senses from their fights wondering if he got through to the angel. "The only angel with blood on them I see is the one that's too much of a coward to come out and fight himself!" Being able to lock down where his lover was had a positive though because he used his own gun to shoot rapid fire in and arch hoping it would hone in on a target. Drake did say he would enchant the bullets and he hoped the other thought ahead to make them self course correcting.<br/><br/>Anyone else got in the way was not his problem right now as the flames expanded out from his body feeling their way across the ground and burning things in their path.
