closed starter for : ephraim cain / @silkeared where : the golden piston.
gabriel enjoyed walking through portum, to be reminded of how complicated it was. their first few weeks in portum were ... difficult, the array of demons and other beings strange for even one with such a long life. but as the years went, and he learned more about the mysterious town, they got used to this new normal — eventually beginning to understand why they found such a place. not all lived with such a purpose, even gabe feeling it slip at times; perhaps something human in them. but they knew ephraim struggled willing him to pop in on the angel — quite literally. instead of taking that walk he enjoyed, gabe closed his eyes and let the other come into view, letting themself arrive on top of the vehicle the other was working on. ❝ sometimes i wish you worked somewhere cleaner. ❞
