[ Gabriel's jaw twitches, his expression stays frozen as Chuck speaks. Yeah, there's things that could be said, on all sides. But that's not how their family works. They keep back the things they should be saying, like I'm sorry and instead they say all the wrong things.
It's so easy to be angry at each other. Angry and disappointed and hurt. But it's not so easy to turn the other cheek on everything that's happened and forgive.
Gabriel knew he was right about humans. He knew it, and he doesn't need Dad to tell him so. But despite that, the pure validation from those words, those three short sentences is enough to soothe so much pain. His fingers relax, knuckles slowly getting their colour back. He hadn't even been aware how tightly he'd been holding onto that cup. ]
The others never got a chance to see for themselves.
[And Gabriel wouldn't have ever understood what Dad had meant if he hadn't left Heaven, if he'd never run away from everything Dad had ever met for them to have. Maybe if Lucifer had gone out and seen, if Michael had just... not taken his Father's word as law but actually believed then none of them would have died for a stupid, unimportant, ridiculous prophecy.
That's the thing that will always upset him. All of this wasn't necessary. They just needed time to see.]
Thank you Dad. I meant it. It is good to see you again.
[He takes a breath]
So, Hell exciting enough? How long have you been here? Did you see the Doves?
