Status: Open; in progress

He wondered why Zadkiel wanted to talk.

It wasn't a question that Gabe would ask but it weighed on his mind as he lit his cigarette and inhaled the smoke, feeling the warmth against his lips and simply holding it there for that reason alone. He leaned against the wall, feeling cool red brick press against his cheek as he took another drag. Six o'clock and he wondered if Zadkiel would come outside or if he'd need to go in.

There were a lot of things that Gabe was wondering- it was easiest to stick with the same things than to look back on the others. Particularly after his conversation with Maxxie. Everything repeats, he told himself. Especially other people's advice.

	"I hope so." Zadkiel stared at his hands. "I wonder sometimes what they think happened to me. If they miss me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course they do," Gabe said. "I'd miss you. I mean, if you were gone." He glanced away, watching the leaves of a nearby tree blowing in the breeze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zadkiel blushed. "I think about going back, maybe, at some point. To try to talk to them. To tell them that there's another way. I just don't know if they can change everyone there. And I don't want to take their whole lives away from them like mine's been. But I can't stomach the thought of them becoming murderers, either." And that was the plain truth of it, of what every man in the community was or would become.

"You've got time to think about that. And um, maybe this isn't it." Gabe reached out, lightly pushing Zadkiel in the side. "Come on. Let's go... I don't know. Walk. Something. You can tell me the good bits- you've got to remember that part too."

It might be all that Zadkiel had in this city- Gabe didn't want to take it from him by forcing him to remember the bad.

	Zadkiel made himself smile as he stood up and brushed himself off. "All right. If you're sure you want to listen to me go on and on about people you've never met." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's not going on and on." He pointed out. "Besides, it's nice to just listen. People don't let you." Gabe smiled and took the first step for the street, wondering where the rest of the night would take them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
