Gabe wasn't one for the weekly tasks the clans seemed so fond of passing around like clockwork candy. From what he'd seen of them, most tended to be fairly menial, intended primarily to strengthen a community; it was admirable they worked on that, but he wasn't cut out for holding little get togethers, coming up with games, making gifts- he didn't have hobbies unless knowing things counted, because he'd devoted so much of his life to a singular purpose with no room for anything else. He was trying to fix that now, to slow down and actually live while he had the time, but maybe he wasn't too interested in everything that included. Like the weekly tasks. Maybe he should start. He didn't have much else to do beyond poking his head into matters that didn't really concern him, so as fun as that was, he could expand his horizons even just a little bit.
Jewelry making fell in with the group of activities Gabe hadn't ever given more than a passing thought to, and personally, he'd never worn it. Not because it wasn't pretty, but it was a bit difficult to blend in when there were noticeable piercings -even just the holes- or bracelets. Now that he stuck out like a sore thumb, he supposed it didn't matter what he wore anymore, although a bag over his head might be preferable.
None of that was on his mind at the moment, as he was currently wandering the place searching for anything that could catch his eye, while simultaneously hoping he might find Des. Since his return, he'd seemed off, and Gabriel wasn't so certain it could be worked through in the span of a few weeks. He didn't plan on asking him outright, though. He wasn't blind- he'd seen how the wolf tensed when he first arrived, and how some of it bled away when Gabe made a stupid comment instead of asking a more somber question. Not to mention asking someone how they felt was rarely a surefire way of obtaining truth. People lied, especially about things that mattered the most.
He was fully prepared to attempt some of that light poking as soon as he caught sight of Des, although it soon became apparent that the canine was actually looking for him, too. Speak of the devil, and all that. Only time would tell to whom that referred. For now, the hybrid grinned with his eyes, head slightly cocked. "Sorry, got caught up. Someone else needed a Gabriel, but she was just praying." He drew closer, curiosity growing as he did. "Need a jar opened?"
