When Gabriel steps aside, he takes those few steps over the threshold; he is aware that being allowed into Gabriel's home is a generosity, something that he is not owed right now, and that may be the only thing that prevents him from going over to his brother's couch and laying on it out of pure anti-authoritarian spite. As much as it is in his nature to be a contrary little shit, he also doesn't want to get kicked out literally thirty seconds after he was allowed into the first real shelter he's had in a month.
"Apologies, Gabriel," he says instead, standing there and trying to will his legs into not cramping up like they're definitely threatening to do, "Next time I get spat out of Hell and have to walk a thousand miles, I'll try to be cleaner about it. For your sake."
