Topher doesn't recognise Gabriel. Whether it's because he can't remember his time with Romac or because he's not able to sense his Grace is uncertain, because Topher doesn't remember a lot of things. His mind doesn't work in the way it used to.
And being told not to be afraid of someone isn't actually that helpful. He's heard that before. And given this someone knows his name makes him even more wary. He assumes now it's someone he knows in a different body - which is true enough, really.
"No thanks," he answers, which makes sense in his own head.
