The bond shared between Hunter and Son is a strong one, a bond that allows them to bolster one another through their shared affection and love. Gabriel is perfectly content to lean into the warm circle of Sam's arm around him, taking the bites that are offered and occasionally leaning to share a kiss with his beloved. The stories and laughter fill the temple and it reminds Gabriel of his earliest memories. He shares his own, reducing the Hunters to laughter with stories of jokes played on his older brothers.

Finally as the meal winds down, the Hunters begin to clear away the rest of the food, carefully packing it away for morning. It was time to prepare for the rites and there was a definite shift in the mood - quiet and eager anticipation as the union of two Hunters and their Sons could raise enough power to bring more back from the mist.
