Eliot glares at his fellow angel. "Gabe," he greets cautiously, shifting his weight - physical and metaphysical - for the fight he just knows is coming.
The slighter angel's eyes widen slightly and... Gabe really hadn't known he was here.
That doesn't make Eliot relax any.
It isn't until Parker clatters out of the bar and flings herself at Gabe that Eliot starts to feel like he might be on some sort of Candid Camera reel somewhere and begins a revenge plot against Hardison. Even if it's not his fault, he feels the need to keep the boy on his toes.
Gabe smirks over her shoulder and Eliot just knows that the next words out of his mouth are going to be...
"Why don't you introduce me to your friend?"
Yup. There it is. And there's Parker, waving him over.
Obviously he's hesitated a moment too long because she yells something at him about apples and razor-blades that makes Gabe smirk behind his hand.
"Eliot," she introduces, and he can see the Sophie shining through in the mannerisms. Even Gabe looks impressed. "This is Gabe. My Godfather."
