Gabrielle practically beamed at him. "I've come to the conclusion that friendship, real, true friendship, is one of the best things in the world. Maybe the best thing." She listened as he spoke, and shook her head. "I think it must be harder to be in your position than I'd ever thought of before. It's nice that you had such a good friend to help you through. You're very lucky." She rested a gentle hand on his arm once more. "And so was he, to have your friendship..." She looked concerned for a moment, realizing that she was probably bringing up a sore subject. She knew if Xena wasn't here, she would be pretty crazy to find her.
"Maybe he'll be brought too? Xena and I both were." For his sake, she hoped so. He seemed so nice, and a little lost. She could understand, since without Xena, she'd be in the exact same place as he was. Nodding her thanks, she stepped into the door and then turned back to face him, listening. "Oh, that's a wonderful thing, to have a family name." She smiled. "My name? I don't know, actually. My mother would never tell me. I've read about the angel Gabriel, though, and I think that might be where it came from."
She gestured over to the middle of the room, where a goblin sat behind a desk. "He'll give you a room key, and a journal."
