( Hank's eyes narrow, his head slowly tilting to the right, his focus increasing on Gabriel's calculated movements. His fingers were steady, delicate, strong, confident - like that tone he had with the waiter when he asked for a fucking kid's meal. Who was this kid? Hank was a bit surprised, honestly, with how someone so young was so ... knowledgeable on clocks. He would probably be wrong if it were only just wrist watches the boy knows. Hank can imagine a clockmaker's room full of gears, walls decorated with archaic pieces, innards organized in a mess of piles about the room.
Even the way Gabriel took time to listen to the watch was ... odd, as if the wristwatch told him the very fucking secret as to why it was two minutes behind.
Hank was captivated. He couldn't remember the last time something trivial had his interest to the point that it became somehow bigger than a simple attraction. Hank got the impression Gabriel was really into clocks. He also sounded like a fucking psychopath, but given Hank's line of work, anyone that says they want to open something up and see how it works meant something far more nefarious than a benign wristwatch.
Hank moves his hand over to the watch and holds it between his hands. He takes a new appreciation for the piece. Instead of a wristwatch, he slapped on his wrist, the piece was a complex mechanic that needed TLC, and Hank had been neglectful. He binds it on his wrist again and looks up to Gabriel. )

Thanks for doing that.
