Gabriel grunts when Johnny uses his full name again. "Echoes is...I can't think of a better way to say it. You don't have the sense for it. Maybe like-" He coughs suddenly, and it surprises him enough that he nearly drops his mug. After a quick moment of making sure it's alright, he settles back again. "-like a ping. Doorbell. Handshake." He shrugs, giving up on trying to find an appropriate metaphor. "S'Angel thing."

When Mako thinks his name, it comes to him as clearly as if she had said it aloud. It's a bit better than when Johnny had said it, maybe because it was only in her mind. He didn't have the jumble of hearing his name aloud at the same time that he heard it in her mind.

"It's usually... It's nice. Sick ruins everything." His gaze slides over to her, and he gestures to her for Johnny's sake. "Do like Mako. That was better."
