Gabriel knows when he needs to cool down. Not one to back DOWN from an argument, he’ll save the grace period for after. Typically, these actions come in the form of either DRINKING, listening to music, laying down. Hell, he might even open a BOOK if it gets his mind off of the aforementioned. Though, he is an over-thinker. Naturally, he analyses EVERYTHING when he’s alone, or even in the middle of something. The rampant thoughts tend to hit more when he’s alone, and it only furthers the stress of the situation if it was not RESOLVED clearly. Something he likes to do to free his mind of invasive thoughts, admittedly, is dance. He’ll do it in the privacy of his own quarters, but he prefers to do it in a larger room -- pretending for an audience, or whatnot. He’d wait as patiently as he could until a room was free, and sneak down to play simple Spanish step music; it’s all MUSCLE MEMORY that calls for no exact thoughts, as it’s an art to just express himself and rid his body of any lingering frustrations. As for REAPER, it.. is secretly the same process. Something that had NOT rid his soul was the ingrained teaching of said dances -- it’s a de-stress tactic that he’d assumed he’d DIE with. Though if not given the proper privacy (I cannot stress ENOUGH that he would not do this in front of anyone), sure, he’ll settle for the extension of his GUNS from his palms to do dirty work for him. Whether it’s aimed at a PERSON or a training DUMMY -- he doesn’t care.
