That wasn't encouraging. There were a great many risks being taken here, and if it weren't for the fact that Skulduggery had already said that Guild was not a fan of Skul himself, Gabriel might have objected to Tanith and Ghastly taking such a risk on his behalf.

"If you need a help for anything," he said to them both, looking a bit anxiously between them, "just--call the same number I gave to the professor. Okay? I'll get it."

Even if his wings were still hurt, flying should be easier now than it was, and if Ghastly and Tanith got imprisoned Gabriel certainly wasn't going to hold back just because of a bit of discomfort. Not after what they'd done for him and how he'd frightened them.
