[ There is some strange sense of deja vu here. It had happened soon after Jack had come to El Nysa, but he'd been named a criminal and had been forced to become a fugitive. Fleeing Olympia, he'd left all of his gear with Ana to take care of for him. Of course Gabriel would know to grab Jack's equipment, if he came across it. There's still a sense of relief that he actually did; he could have left it all to rot in the woods just to be difficult.
That's a lot of what Gabriel's done since he came here, after all. He's found ways to needle Jack and work his last nerve, even in the smallest of ways. So the fact that he not only collected his gear, but came out here to find him in the first place is unexpected.
What are friends for, right?
The question jars him out of his thoughts. One corner of his mouth twists into a half-smile. ] Didn't take you for a prude, Reyes. [ He's been technically naked for something like a month now, so it really hadn't occurred to him to do anything about it. (He doesn't seem bothered to be walking around barefoot, either.) Now he pulls the blanket down and cinches it around his waist. There, presentable.
There's a lull of silence where they walk for a bit, but Jack won't be able to just let this go. He has to know what Gabriel's motivations were in all this, not that he expects a completely honest answer. He glances over at Reyes as they walk. ]

Why'd you come after me?
