At the sense of Adrien beginning to regain some composure, Gabriel was both relieved and bit resigned. Relieved because the sheer force of emotions that Adrien's sobbing had been concerning, and he was unsure how he would have handled it had Adrien simply been unable to stop. And resigned because despite that obviously much needed catharsis, he could tell there was still more behind it. Now, however, wasn't the time, with both of them already tired.

"I'm sure you'd be quite capable at it if you chose to put your mind to it," he said. "But at the moment, that's neither here nor there."

He pulled back from the hug enough that Adrien could see his face, but he didn't break contact just yet. "For now, how about you have a seat on the couch, and I'll make us some tea? I have a feeling we could both use a cup. And while I'm up, I'll find something to cover the rest of the mirrors in the house until whatever this is passes."
