Prompt:Gabriel, leaving home
He doesn't make a big production of it like Sammael, or vanish in the quiet time like Michael. He says goodbye to Anachel and he wishes Castiel a happy day, and he lingers with a wistful glance to the spire of God's house, but that's it.
There's no point in staying here, where everyone is proper and quiet and no one mentions the war except to say how horrible Samm—Lucifer was and they're glad he's gone.
Gabriel is not glad. Gabriel misses his brother, both of them. He misses Sammael's wit and Michael's strength, and he cannot be where they are not, where even the sky reminds him of watching them play tag among the clouds.
So he leaves.
