Who: Gabriel, whoever
When: A few weeks after resurrection
What: Awkward reunions?
Where: A nondescript diner
Well well well. Isn't this all convenient?
Not that Gabriel is usually the type to have an issue with things being convenient; in fact, 'convenient' is one of his most desired adjectives for describing a situation. Convenient is usually easy, and easy usually means something terrible isn't happening. Just how he likes it.
And indeed, nothing terrible is happening right now, but it doesn't feel easy. It feels suspicious, even though it shouldn't, because he knows exactly how this whole thing came about. There's nothing suspicious, let alone sinister, about it. Gabriel isn't completely sure his nephew even knows what those words mean, let alone would do anything even slightly adjacent to them.
It is, of course, Jack's doing that Gabriel is here, both in general and in specific at this moment, in this diner. Something about overdue reunions, blah blah blah, Gabriel loves Jack but it's very difficult not to tune him out when he starts going on and on with the cute puppy stuff. New God or not.
But he's here all the same, eating a ridiculously over the top banana split the more morosely he's ever eaten a dessert before, and sure isn't really that morosely, but still. To say he's apprehensive about whoever Jack might've set him up to reunite with is an understatement, and he had carefully refused to promise that he wouldn't bail, with that option feeling only more and more tempting the more time goes on.

"He set the whole thing up like a blind date, if you're wondering. This wasn't on me." So don't blame him, but also he doesn't have any fancy plans like he had last time. Plans that had worked perfectly, mind you, with normally Gabriel might take the moment to mention, but he'll save that for now.
me trying to rememeber s15 canon point vs my usual 13x07 lolol
(Jack called him a monster and still brought Lucifer back for this playdate.
The hell did that even mean.)
"Oh, don't worry, I'd assume you would never willingly be in the same room again with--what was it..." He takes a second to look like he's remembering even though it is so extremely burned into his being. "... 'the first few cells of cancer.'"
a mood as I try to remember all of spn in general
"Awwww, did I hurt your feelings that bad?" He's not surprised by the idea that he might've upset Lucifer in that conversation--in fact, he's quite sure he did, and that was the point--but he doesn't believe for a moment that it was actually internalized the way it was meant. "It's not like you listened when I tried being nice, back at Elysian Fields. At least I got your attention this time."
