Gabriel grumbles and reaches out to rest his hand on Johnny's chest, then completes the motion by flopping forward and resting his head against Johnny's shoulder. His feathers puff out en masse, lifting and expanding, then his wings adjust to his new position and resettle as he settles in against Johnny. He's not happy with anything less than Johnny being absolutely sure that he won't get attacked again, but he knows that he can't ask for that.
"Do not tell the TARDIS I did that. She'd give me the disappointed face." He traces his thumb back and forth on Johnny's chest, over his heart. He probably shouldn't have done it. He knows that. He doesn't have the right to kill people when he doesn't even know if they have souls to be redeemed. "When I saw you there-" Johnny broken, covered in blood. Something in him had snapped. Killing the man had felt right after that.
He sighs. "It won't happen again." He's reasonably sure.
