Finbar Wrong, Gabe decided, was that absent kind of person like Desmond Edgley--the exact kind of person whom his Master absolutely loved. Despite himself, despite the urgency and the feeling that they should really be getting as much information as possible as quickly as possible, Gabe found himself grinning.

Because Finbar Wrong was treating Gabe not like some divine, unattainable godling, but like a friend he just didn't know very well yet.

And Gabe liked that.

"There's usually lot more panicking," Gabe told the psychic with a laugh, and then added, "I wouldn't mind some tea. Or meeting your family, if they're here. We haven't really stopped since we got here, aside from a half-hour visit with Val's parents."
