His gaze lifts from his handheld console, and there's an audible power down as his index finger hits the power button.
Gabriel. Not Gabe. Gabe hadn't introduced himself as Gabriel, just Gabe. There shouldn't even be a last name, that's how vague he left it--on purpose, too.
"I'll power nap," he mumbles, absently.
Harrison had all of his attention. As if the console powering down wasn't enough, he slides from the chair and rises, and he doesn't have to feign the curiosity. He does have to mask the wariness, as well as the caution in his voice as he reaches Harrison's spot and, leaning against the doorframe as casually as he can, looks down.
"I can't be curious? Isn't that something you pride people on being, Mr. Science?"
As he looks at what it is, his grip on the door tightens. Just a fraction, but enough to make knuckles white. Instead, he gives an all american smile.
"Woah. What happened to the meta-human feelings radar?" Of course it had a better name, but Gabe has to keep it cool. Has to fight this nagging feeling.
