Gabriel goes to meet the Balladeer and claps him on the shoulder. "I'd think the better question would be how are you. I doubt Johnny told me everything about what happened." He chuckles a little bit. "It's like he thinks I'd kill you or something." Johnny has good reason to think Gabriel might react protectively against anyone who has hurt him, He's seen it in action. But in this case, the person he wants to punish for Johnny's sake isn't here.

He glances down at the Balladeer's conspicuously absent purchases, then back up at the Balladeer. "Do you need some help shopping? I am excellent at shopping." He could probably use the distraction himself, and he'd like to get a little more information about just how this whole alternate personality thing works. He'd already bought a couple gifts himself, but it probably wouldn't hurt to take another look around.
