The sounds are fascinating, and without thinking a smile has already begun to creep across Gabriel's face. They sounded pleased, and he didn't have to guess if that was the case considering the Machine's body language at present. He was doing this to it, he was coaxing these sounds from it. It was almost... cute, really. What an incredibly wild thought to have even cross his mind but there seemed no better word for it.
An adorable little murder monster. Its head dropped into what struck him as a relaxed position, and he settled in behind it comfortably, going as far as to rest his chin upon its shoulder. No longer did he specifically need to see everything, having memorized the shape and form of the body beneath his hands he was confident that he could continue without the eagle eye. No, he wanted closeness now as he worked.
Gabriel would only shift as it moved, splaying his legs to either side of them as his hand slipped down lower, down along the base of the spine, the top of the hips. Working in slow, steady circles along the network of muscles, tubes and wires, tenderly, carefully pulling at things that seemed snagged, kinked or caught up, smoothing his thumb over its spine and lumbar. "... What a curious creature you are." He couldn't help but talk out loud, it's Gabriel after all.
"I never knew how sensitive you were." Under the armor, of course. He'd hit the damn thing enough times to know that this was a special occasion. ... Hard not to tease though, sorry V1.
