Wow, Gabriel is suddenly right up in his personal space. It's unexpected, and Sam twitches faintly; not necessarily out of revulsion or any desire to get away from Gabriel, just... surprise. He'd looked none too pleased to see Sam when he wandered up here, Sam wouldn't have thought he'd be eager to get chummy.

Recovering his surprise, Sam rolls his eyes. 'Gee, thanks,' he grouses. 'You're looking acceptably non-corpselike yourself.' Reaching a hand up to scrub at his chin, he grimaces. 'At least I am alive. I guess. Thought I was gonna bite it half the time, and wouldn't that just be fuckin' ironic, after I couldn't finish--'

He closes his teeth with an audible snap, jaw tense and nostrils flaring.

'What the hell.'
