[Balthazar had never been one for awkward silences; he always had something witty to say and if that didn't work, there was always the option to just fly away. Now he really had neither. Sure, he could try to disappear, but not only would it would cowardly and dickish, he doubt he'd get farther than outside the caravan. Where he would inevitably collapse.
The younger angel had never really known Gabriel, but no one except the older brothers did. Everyone who was born after those four knew Gabriel only for his pranks and tricks, his desperate want to keep the family together after everything happened with Lucifer. Balthazar had never paid him much attention and had barely noticed when he had disappeared. Still, though, he felt that this situation had revealed more about his brother than all those years in Heaven did.]
