None of it was hidden from Gabriel. Dusk's presence was audible, less covered by the presence of the Remnant because of the way its soul was offset by Kenspeckle's. The Archangel still didn't open his eyes until after Sanguine spoke. And not even at once.
"Ain't asleep, Billy-Ray," he said calmly as he shuffled his consciousness around--just a little. Enough to establish mental wards between him and Dusk. Gabe really disliked vampires.
Leisurely, unconcerned, the Archangel stretched carefully, hiding his wince but unable to keep his movements from being stiff and short with the aches and pains he felt. Still, there was a degree of control in the action which indicated he was prepared. Then the Archangel opened his eyes and rose to his feet, using the wall as a support.
With a sort of enveloping calm, Gabe moved toward the door Sanguine opened and stepped out, acknowledging neither of his guards despite Dusks's piercing eyes on him, even as they directed him toward Kenspeckle's cell.
