V1 resists the slight impulse to headbutt him for that comment about sensitivity, so Gabriel is spared an immediate physical consequence for his little joke.

The humming vibration of various components and the soft whirring of cooling fans begin to tick up slowly as Gabriel essentially performs maintenance. It has been a very long time since someone else's hands did this for it, albeit in a very different context....It doesn't recall whether it felt as pleasant then as it does now.

The words he's saying are strange, too. It's not something it'd ever have thought to hear from Gabriel, but many things are different since it came here. It's not bad, though. Not bad at all.

Gabriel's fingers run confidently down the base of its spine and it feels a spike of stimulation, causing it to vent another little burst of heat, several mechanisms humming and vibrating together. It's not entirely sure why that feels better than the rest of it (maybe an old injury that didn't repair and left something a little more exposed?) but it's not complaining, far from it.

Maintenance of this type is tedious and dangerous, something they couldn't have performed without someone else there to supervise - and where would it get that in Hell? If Gabriel finds it fascinating enough to do, it's not going to stop him at all, especially since it feels so good.
